XO Tour Llif3

"XO Tour Llif3" (stylized as "XO TOUR Llif3" and pronounced "XO Tour Life") is a song by American rapper Lil Uzi Vert from the extended play Luv Is Rage 1.5 (2017) and debut album Luv Is Rage 2 (2017). It was released on SoundCloud on February 26, 2017, and later on all music streaming platforms on March 24, 2017. The track was produced by TM88, with co-production by JW Lucas.
The song peaked at number seven on the US Billboard Hot 100, becoming Lil Uzi Vert's highest-charting single as a solo artist until the release of "Futsal Shuffle 2020", which peaked at number five. On December 7, 2022, the song was certified RIAA Diamond selling over 11 million copies, giving them their first Diamond certification and making it the best-selling emo rap song of all-time.
== Background ==
In January 2016, producer TM88 was flying back to Atlanta to master the tracks. His flight occurred during January's Fort Lauderdale airport shooting, where a gunman killed five people. He recalled, "I was trying to board my flight and then we see a stampede of people just running towards us and we just ran on the plane." In the midst of the panic, he dropped all of his things, including the laptop with his works. When he arrived to his place, he had to recreate the beats. Uzi called him for a beat, so TM88 gave an old beat he remixed, which turned out to be for "XO Tour Llif3". TM88 stated, "Lil Uzi changed the whole landscape of where music was starting to go. Ever since [its release], you started seeing more people, even producers use my [melodic] cadences. I feel like the bigger the song got, it just made everybody want to be on that type of sound."Gracie, Blanca (November 21, 2019). "Songs That Defined the Decade: Lil Uzi Vert's 'XO TOUR Llif3'". Billboard. Unfortunately, the producer was never paid by the record label, declaring on January 5, 2018, "Atlantic still ain't paid n—-s shit!" and called them "the worst label in the history of fuck shit!"Stutz, Colin (January 5, 2018).

Uzi called the song a "throwaway," where they uploaded four songs to their SoundCloud page. Julie Greenwald of Atlantic Records noticed the success based on its streams, saying, "so we raced to get the record out on the proper digital streaming platforms. It exploded."Martins, Chris (December 21, 2017). "2017 No. 1s: Lil Uzi Vert on How Being 'Authentic' Took 'XO Tour Llif3' to Pop Radio". Billboard.
