Lil Lotus releases an acoustic version of “blame me for everything,” and taps MOD SUN for guest vocals. The reimagined track comes from his upcoming album, Nosebleeder (Deluxe), which arrives on March 22 via Epitaph Records. This will extend his 2023 sophomore LP and include five stripped-down songs.
The emo rapper is known for energetic, provocative lyrics in his music. Partnered with booming beats and roaring guitars, it’s in-your-face and abrasive in a good way. This pivot to something softer somberizes the message, imbuing it with an almost defeated tone. “Sometimes your love is a loaded gun/You can blame me for everything,” echoes at the end of the chorus before MOD SUN chimes in with his bright vocals.

His part highlights the high of being with another person, even if they’re not the best for you. The final blend of both of their voices evokes a tug in the heart about forlorn romance that’s detrimental when you wish it weren’t meant to be that way. “‘blame me for everything” is for when you feel like you can’t do anything right, whether it’s from a partner, family or, anyone else.” Lil Lotus explains. “I feel like a lot of songs are just me singing universally in the hope that somebody connects to the topics.”
To tap into that connection, the release also has a cover of Lil Uzi Vert’s song, “Grab The Wheel.” While Lotus references his influence across the musical spectrum, one thing is for sure: he knows how to craft an impactful track that resonates with a variety of listeners.
Lotus’s first full-length, Errør Bøy, dropped in 2021, with the original Nosebleeder released two years later. It featured collaborations with Sophie Powers, Alexis Munroe, and kennedyxoxo.
