Kylie Jenner is making her long-rumored music debut — this time for real. The 28-year-old reality star and beauty mogul has teamed up with pop duo Terror Jr for their new single “Fourth Strike,” performing under her revived moniker, King Kylie.
The collaboration is a playful nod to years of speculation that Jenner was the anonymous singer behind Terror Jr’s 2016 breakout hit “3 Strikes,” which had appeared in a promo for her cosmetics brand. Though she denied those rumors at the time, Kylie revealed that her new feature was inspired by that moment.
Posting to Instagram on October 4th, Jenner wrote:
“AHHHHHH!!!!!! FOURTH STRIKE!!! terror jr ft KING KYLIE!!!!! OUT NOW EVERYWHERE! There was a rumor 10 years ago that I was the one actually singing on 3 Strikes! It wasn’t me (wish it was) — so I had the idea to come together for Fourth Strike and it would actually be ME FEATURED!”
Fans praised her breathy, whisper-pop vocals, reminiscent of Lana Del Rey and Billie Eilish, as she sings sultry lyrics like, “Oh baby, you can’t stay mad at me / This body is my apology.”
Beyond her surprise music debut, Jenner is also set to appear in Charli XCX’s upcoming A24 film “The Moment,”alongside Alexander Skarsgård, Rachel Sennott, Rosanna Arquette, Jamie Demetriou, Isaac Powell, and Shygirl. The film — written by Aidan and Bertie Brandes — will explore fame, pressure, and pop stardom and is expected to premiere in 2026.
