More recently, the 26-year-old took to the Coachella stage in a surprise performance with 21 Savage. On April 16, Malone showed up for a performance of their hit song, "Rockstar." He also performed songs including "Circle" and "Sunflower" at last month's Revolve Festival, where he brought out Quavo.
Malone is expected to drop his studio album titled "Twelve Carat Toothache" later this month. So far he has released the single "One Right Now" with The Weeknd featured on the track. The music video for the track turned heads by depicting a shootout between the two singers.

Malone told Billboard in a recent interview that his new music will speak "more to how I'm feeling at the moment: the ups and downs and the disarray and the bipolar aspect of being an artist in the mainstream." In the process of achieving this, he told the publication that he eliminated any filler tracks, resulting in a short album that runs around 45 minutes long.
He also opened up during the interview about his struggle to return to writing music like he did for "Stoney," his 2016 debut album. "The hardest part is getting it back," he said. "It ebbs and flows. It's figuring out: ‘Just because I'm not inspired to do it at the moment doesn't mean I'm giving up.'"
