Nao recruits SiR for the delicate and soulful "Make It Out Alive".

"Make It Out Alive" is a smooth bop entwined with slick R&B and pop, and the unique, compelling vocals of Nao.

Nao recruits SiR, who is signed to TDE and has collaborated with Anderson .Paak, Schoolboy Q and more.

Speaking about the new single, Nao explains, “"Make It Out Alive" really sums up what my album is about. I'd hit my late twenties and everything was in flux; relationships, work life, home situation, everything. I was lost and I genuinely had to ask 'how do you make it out of here?'. The idea of making it a duet was to reflect how many people, all over the world, are going through the same experience. I'd been a huge fan of SiR's voice and songwriting for a while so I was over the moon when he agreed to join me on the track.”

The new track follows on from the earlier single "Another Lifetime", her first release since her 2016 debut album For All We Know.

Earlier this month Nao featured on a new track "Complicated", featuring frequent collaborator Mura Masa.

"Make It Out Alive" is available now. Nao is currently working on her sophomore album.
