"Riptide" is a non-album single by grandson released on July 31, 2020.[1] It was produced by Mike Shinoda of Linkin Park.
Background
grandson, who is featured on "Running From My Shadow", tweeted on March 1, 2019, "Mike and I got back in the studio before tour and he helped produce one of my favorite new unreleased songs".[2] On May 25, he tweeted in response to Mike Shinoda, "wow what a year it has been thank u to the LP and MS family for welcoming the grandkids. Not the last you’ll hear of us".[3] On November 22, Mike Shinoda posted a photo from his studio and marked both Boonn and grandson, indicating they were working together again.[4] During his tour in early 2020, grandson previewed to fans a new song called "Riptide" which wasn't finished yet because he couldn't figure out how to end it. Fans described it as "softer and calmer, almost popish."[5] grandson took part on Mike's May 21 stream and teased fans saying in an ambiguous tone that they were just talking and nothing else.[6] On June 26, he released the official music video for his single "Identity". The numbers at the end of the video translated to "Riptide", hinting the song would be his next single.[7] On July 16, he posted on Twitter a clue about the song which translated to "Shinoda".[8]
