Pardison Fontaine and Cardi B are wasting no time lighting a match under their freshly unwrapped single ‘Toot It Up.’

With the track being long-teased, the pair finally heeded fan requests for its official release.

A hard-hitting club jam, ‘Toot’ has been paired with a video set in the aptest of backdrops.

The collaboration arrives at an interesting juncture for the artists, who have collaborated before in a songwriting capacity and on 2018’s ‘Backin’ It Up.’

For, it lands ahead Cardi’s long-awaited sophomore album and as a rare release from Pardi, whose drops have proven rather seldom over the years.

Nearly 40 years after Cher sailed her Michael Bolton-penned smash ‘I Found Someone‘ into the Hot 100’s top 10, she may be poised to repeat the feat with a reimagined version of the power ballad.

Found on Tyga‘s February 7-released new album ‘NSFW,’ the rapper’s 2025 edition of the tune is simply called ‘Found Someone’ and sees the rapper handle the verses while the 78-year-old Pop icon carries the intro, hook, and outro.

“(I found someone) / Who gon’ love me good / Who gon’ f-ck me good / Tell me it’s all good / Give me the details so it’s understood / Ain’t gotta worry ’bout her, trust me, I’m all good,” he spits over a sample of the 1987 original.

As far as unlikely duos go, this may seem like one of the unlikeliest but it shouldn’t be the most surprising given that Tyga’s bestie – music exec Alexander “A.E.” Edwards – is Cher’s boyfriend!

“Said I’ma toot that a–, toot toot that a– / If you a ballplayer, I’m tryna recruit that a– / Said it taste like ice cream you wanna scoop that a– / Turn around, through the ground, Uncle Luke that a–,” raps Cardi on the Salaam Remi production.

Using the reignited interest as a springboard for his solo efforts, the R&B star (born Giveon Evans) is giving what’s believed to be the first taste of new music from his forthcoming, yet-titled album via the new song ‘Twenties.’

“Spending my twenties on you / I poured my heart in it / Don’t get me started / Spend my time wondering why / I spent my twenties on you,” he sings over Sevn Thomas production.
