"Paris to Tokyo" is a song by American rapper Fivio Foreign and Australian rapper and singer the Kid Laroi. It was released through Columbia Records as a single on July 8, 2022, and was added to Fivio's debut studio album, B.I.B.L.E., exactly one week later. The song was solely produced by SB and samples Far East Movement's 2010 single, "Rocketeer", which features Ryan Tedder. On July 1, 2022, exactly one week before the song was released, Fivio and Laroi performed it live for the first time at Wireless Festival in London.[1]
"Paris to Tokyo" is a drill song. Laroi sings the chorus, both before and after the sole verse that Fivio raps.[2] Laroi leans away from his previous alternative pop releases and back into his hip hop roots.[3]
Music video
The official music video for "Paris to Tokyo", directed by Chris Villa, premiered on Fivio's YouTube channel alongside the song's release on July 8, 2022. It sees him and Laroi partying in a club as they rap.[4] As the title of the song suggests, the two artists actually travel from Paris to Tokyo, as they stand behind the Eiffel Tower in the former city and Fivio sports a Rhude outfit as he raps in an arcade in the latter city. The video also includes expensive fast cars and the two artists ad-lib each other's lyrics.[5]
