Molly Santana Drops New Single and Video 'Live Your Life'

Molly Santana released her new single and music video "Live Your Life" on August 14, 2026 via Black Punk.

The track leans into pop territory while holding onto the rage-rap foundation she built through a string of EPs, a 2024 self-titled debut album, and her second album Molly and Her Week of Wonders. Production-wise, the song layers futuristic-techno accents, a crunchy bassline, and a synthesized looping vocal sample. It is her first release as a solo act in 2026, following her feature on "Ran to Atlanta" with Drake and Future, which according to the press release peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100.

The music video marks the first time Santana has incorporated choreography into her visual work. The direction pulls from anime aesthetics, and the overall look connects to her background as a former Tokyo fashion student. The art direction and lyrics share the same message. "I do what I want, you can do what you can," she states in the track.

At 21, Santana has been building steadily. In 2024, Don Toliver tapped her to open select dates on his Hardstone Psycho Tour. Before dropping "Ran to Atlanta," she rolled out Molly and Her Week of Wonders through a series of trailers that came together as a short film. She has received coverage from Complex, Billboard, The FADER, V Magazine, and Tmrw, among others.

A third studio album is scheduled for release before the end of 2026.

For independent artists, Santana's rollout strategy is worth studying. She built visual storytelling and a distinct aesthetic identity long before the mainstream caught on, and used each project to deepen both rather than chase a trend.

"Live Your Life" is out now on all streaming platforms.
