Fresh off a landmark 2026 GRAMMY nomination for Best Immersive Audio Album, South Central LA’s most electric architect, Duckwrth, isn't interested in a victory lap. Instead, he’s choosing to mutate. His latest single, “I Wanna Be Your Dog Again,” serves as the opening salvo for his upcoming F️ckboy B-Sides project, expanding the soulful, gritty, and high-fashion universe established in his critically acclaimed All American F️ckBoy.

While his previous work dissected the ego with surgical, cinematic precision, this new offering turns the lens inward toward total submission. Built over a warped, elastic groove that feels like it’s melting in real-time, the track reframes modern romance through a lens of satire and raw vulnerability. The hook—“Living just to please you, that’s the simple life”—is hypnotic, transforming the concept of loyalty into a piece of provocative performance art. It is playful, uncomfortable, and deeply self-aware, landing in that sweet spot where "it’s funny—until it isn’t."

The visual for the track is a high-grade fever dream, clashing absurdism with "gritty-glam" aesthetics. Duckwrth embodies emotional submission with an intensity that feels both attentive and "feral," a term the artist uses to describe the often-ridiculous nature of being in love. By choosing to "emote honestly" rather than "make it pretty," Duckwrth succeeds in making devotion feel like a powerful choice rather than a weakness, further solidifying his reputation as one of the most daring stylists in the game.

This release follows a string of high-octane global moves, including his All American Freakshow tour across the UK and EU. Known for treating the stage like a world-building exercise, Duckwrth’s sold-out London shows—featuring underground heavyweights like Master Peace and JD Cliffe—underscored his deep-rooted connection to the UK’s sonic subcultures. As F️ckboy B-Sides approaches, Duckwrth isn't just releasing music; he’s setting the tone for another milestone year, proving that in his world, the "simple life" is anything but ordinary.
