In 2011, a crucial meeting with superstar rapper Kanye West gave them their big break, resulting in the song “The One” from Kanye’s 2021 compilation, G.O.O.D. Music: Cruel Summer. From there, Bruno’s ascent continued, leading to a string of collaborations and acclaimed singles such as “Search Party,” “Colors,” “Tip of My Tongue,” “Hello Hater” and a debut EP in 2017, .

The second single off her highly anticipated album Before I Die, due September 10, “Watchu Doin Later” is a slow-grooving monologue in both English and Korean about desperately wanting to make a meaningful connection with someone and wrestling with self-doubt.
