'Ridin' is a song by American rapper ASAP Rocky with vocals by American singer Lana Del Rey.[1] The song was originally recorded in 2012 for its producers The Kickdrums' mixtape, Follow the Leaders, though it was not featured in the final track listing.[2]
The song was evidently leaked in 2012 ahead of its release. It samples the instrumental from the song 'And I Panicked' by The Dramatics.
Background[edit]
Originally titled 'My Bitch', the song was leaked on June 27, 2012.[3] The track was written by Rocky and Del Rey while it was produced by The Kickdrums. Both Rocky and The Kickdrums had planned to feature it on their separate releases, but neither had ended up using it on their records. Supposedly, the producers were hours away from releasing their mixtape, Follow the Leaders, online for free with 'Ridin' featured on it when Rocky's team stepped in and had the song removed from the tracklist.[4][5]
Promotion[edit]
All musicians involved with the song had promoted it in various interviews, with Rocky and The Kickdrums releasing a 'behind the scenes' in-studio video documenting the making of the song. The video premiered through Vulture.[6] Alongside that, Rocky promoted the song with MTV and said they had changed the title from 'My Bitch' to 'Ridin' for better radio play, implying his intentions for it to serve as a single.
Leak[edit]
After the song was leaked, Rocky expressed frustration with the producers, who he accused of leaking the track. He took to Twitter to denounce his involvement with the song, saying he had freestyle to get a feel for the song and that his lyrics were not on par with what he would officially release. The production duo insisted they had not leaked it, stating their shared shock at the track being leaked.[7]
Aftermath[edit]
ASAP Rocky on Del Rey, Billboard May 2012 interview
On the topic of the leak, The Kickdrums told Complex 'Well, we had like a general consensus to go ahead and leak it. I don't think even the people involved had any idea it would have such a large impact in such a short amount of time. But A$AP really wanted to use it for his album and as much as we love the song and are super excited to put it out and are disappointed that it's not out, we've got to respect that. If he wants to put it on the album, that's that.'[8]

In a later interview with Billboard in April 2012, Rocky expressed his desire to release the song still but said he may not feature it on his debut album, Long. Evil nine technology. Live. ASAP (2013), as the public is too familiar with the song.[9]
Since the song leaked, it has received popularity online. One unofficial upload on SoundCloud has received 20 million plays.[10]
The pair have since released several songs together ('Summer Bummer' and 'Groupie Love') while Rocky starred alongside Del Rey in her music video for 'National Anthem' (2012).[11]
