"Hearteater" (stylized in all caps) is a song by American rapper and singer XXXTentacion, released as the second single from his fourth (second posthumous) studio album Bad Vibes Forever. [2] [3]
On March 18, 2018, two days after the release of his second studio album ?, XXXTentacion asked his fans to get a Miami charity's Instagram page to 30,000 followers. In return, he promised to release a song that did not make the album's final tracklist. [4] He released the song via SoundCloud on March 20. [5]
The original SoundCloud cover art featured a picture of XXXTentacion stage diving at a concert held on March 18, 2018. The cover art of the single consists of XXXTentacion's former girlfriend Geneva Ayala, who accused him of domestic abuse in 2016, with a bloody mouth holding a heart. [4]
XXXTentacion was murdered in June 2018. [6] During an August 2019 interview, his manager Solomon Sobande revealed that the song would be included on XXXTentacion's fourth studio album Bad Vibes Forever. [7] The song was released as the second single from the album on October 22.
The music video was teased a few days prior to the release, and featured a black and white snippet of XXXTentacion's former girlfriend, Geneva Ayala, who accused him of domestic abuse in 2016, and also appears on the single's cover. [8] The teaser begins with a voice memo dated April 2018 (two months before XXXTentacion's death) of XXXTentacion explaining why he wanted her in the video, saying:
I feel like tying her into it makes the video amazing, and it almost, like, really captures everyone's minds and gives me the power that I truly deserve.
— XXXTentacion, [9]
The music video was released on October 25, 2019, and features Ayala in a forest cannibalistically shredding the flesh of another person, presumably XXXTentacion. Ayala is then shown naked drenched in blood, before walking away as the video ends. [10]
