"Zipper" (stylized in all caps) is a song by American hip hop boy band Brockhampton, released on December 15, 2017, as a single from their third studio album Saturation III (2017). It contains a sample of "Cha Cha Cha!" by Optigan.

Composition

The instrumental features a dusty western piano riff, which along with the first verse (performed by Joba) has been described as similar to rapper Eminem's early music style, [1] and a police siren. [2] In the song, members provide vocals in Auto-Tune, while Matt Champion performs in a "sleepy flow". [3] Kevin Abstract performs the chorus. The song also shouts out to Anthony Fantano. [1]

Will Rosebury of Clash commented the song "bounces with a sense of euphoria reminiscent of Stankonia-era OutKast." [4]

Critical reception

Owl Beanie of Sputnikmusic commented the song's vocals are "characteristically manipulated into textures that make you go: 'ok what is this I want more of it cheers.'" [2] Veronica Irwin of The Quietus criticized the song, stating "the evil-clown rhythm of 'Zipper' coming off as some tacky and unwanted German polka after spending months waiting for more digestible hits along the lines of Saturation II's ' Sweet' and ' Gummy.'" [5]
