Today, French Montana releases his single “Wish U Well” alongside Swae Lee, marking a reunion for the dynamic duo following their massive chart-topping hit “Unforgettable” from 2017. Building upon the success of their previous collaboration, the production of "Wish U Well" is a masterful blend of nostalgia and innovation. Echoing the afrobeat influences that contributed to the global success of their original hit "Unforgettable," French Montana and Swae Lee’s new single carries forward a similar infectious, irresistible rhythm while venturing into new transcendent territory. 

“Wish U Well" continues to explore themes of deep emotion and connection, capturing the complexities of love, attachment, and the bittersweet acceptance of moving on. With its heartfelt lyrics and addictive beats, the song seamlessly blends Montana's distinctive style with Swae's melodic prowess, resulting in a reminiscent ballad about love, longing, and good intentions that is set to resonate with longtime fans as well as new listeners. "Wish U Well" is an attestation to the duo’s ability to create memorable and evocative timeless hits, with an assist from the vocals of Nigerian singer-songwriter Lojay and Jess Glynne on the hook.

The accompanying music video for “Wish U Well” featuring Swae Lee, produced by Montana, Boi1da and Rick Steele, was filmed in the coastal community of Makoko in Lagos, Nigeria, and will be released today at 4pm PT / 7pm ET / 11pm GMT and Saturday at 1am CAT HERE.

“Thanks to Larry and Breyon for making all of this possible,” said Montana. “Their partnership in this next chapter of my journey and music is so important to me. I’m excited to share this record with my fans, one of my favorites I’ve done. Shoutout to my brother Swae, Lojay, Jess, and everyone that was involved in making this song and video happen. We went back to the continent 6 years later where magic was made, but this time in the welcoming and vibrant community of Makoko.”

This is the second single the 3x Grammy-nominated, Diamond-certified Montana has dropped this month, the first being “Good Summer” which was released August 11 when he also announced that he’s joined forces with gamma., the artist-first multimedia platform providing creative and business services across all artistic and commercial formats. Closing out a busy summer, Montana unveiled his documentary, FOR KHADIJA, on June 16 at the Beacon Theatre as part of the Tribeca Film Festival, which chronicles the unlikely rise of the Moroccan-born, multi-platinum recording artist as his single mother sacrifices everything to raise her three young sons in the Bronx.
 

About French Montana

Moroccan-born, Bronx-raised rapper, French Montana, is a 3x Grammy Award-nominated, Diamond-certified rapper, humanitarian influencer, and philanthropist, actively fighting for global healthcare efforts in Uganda as GLOBAL CITIZEN’s first-ever rap ambassador. Some artists blur genres, but French Montana blurs borders. His inimitable fusion of classic East Coast rhymes, wavy pop swagger, and international ambition elevated him to the forefront of the game on a global scale.

Over the years, French has built an indie empire with his Cocaine City imprint. Only speaking Arabic and French at a young age, his family immigrated to New York where he learned English and the language of hip-hop became a catalyst for him. He quickly embraced the culture, became enthralled with it, and began releasing the Cocaine City series of DVDs in 2002. Montana released his platinum-certified debut studio album Excuse My French in 2013, which peaked at #1 on the Hip Hop and R&B album charts. His second studio album, Jungle Rules, in 2017 peaked at number 3 on the Billboard charts and also received platinum certification. 10x platinum and Diamond certified record “Unforgettable” (Featuring Swae Lee) was the lead single of this album sparking an international dance challenge, which led French to partner with Mama Hope and Global Citizen to improve one of their hospitals in Uganda.
