KiLLOWEN - Swings (Single)

KiLLOWEN Drops New Single ‘Swings’ After Festival-Filled Summer.

Garage-Rap innovator KiLLOWEN is back with his new single Swings, fresh off a whirlwind summer that’s seen him perform at Glastonbury, Latitude, Splash Festival — and soon Nines’ Crop World Festival.

The track, self-produced in his signature euphoric style, is a nostalgic nod to his journey from working Tesco tills to living his dream as a full-time artist. Its hook — “I went from Tesco to a Tesla” — is both a personal victory lap and a wink to fans who’ve followed his grind.

Following the success of ALL 2 U (3M+ streams, BBC Radio 1 support), Swings reflects the highs and lows of a rapidly changing life: “It’s about how life’s still full of ups and downs — swings & roundabouts — even when you’re doing the things you dreamed about.”

At just 25, KiLLOWEN’s trajectory has been steep: viral hit pick your poison (14M streams, Top 100 chart spot), the acclaimed six missed calls EP, and a debut project Pub Therapy that cemented his emotionally honest storytelling. With a style that blends Garage energy and Rap grit, he’s become a relatable voice for a generation navigating the chaos of early adulthood.

From rapping over beats as a 7-year-old to co-signs from Skepta’s era of grime and modern UK rap royalty, KiLLOWEN is living proof that authenticity cuts through. With more music and shows on the horizon, Swings might just be the latest step in a long climb.
