070 Shake has released “Baby Driver,” a new original track created specifically for battle royale video game PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS. It marks the first time an original song has been built for a PUBG game mode, and it arrives with a livestream performance and a summer tour alongside Daniel Caesar already locked in. Listen here.
The track moves the way 070 Shake’s best music always does: ethereal synths dissolving into otherworldly beat-craft, her signature delivery pulling you in immediately, building toward an anthemic hook that breaks open with raw emotional force. “There’s nothing more we could get out of here,” she sings at the peak of it, and the line lands with the kind of weight that reminds you why she occupies a lane entirely her own.
The song was teased through the PUBG x PAYDAY mode trailer before its official release. Her music has appeared in previous PUBG trailers including PUBG: UNBOUND and Xeno Point, but “Baby Driver” goes further, built from the ground up for the collaboration rather than licensed after the fact.
To mark the release, 070 Shake performed “Baby Driver” alongside “Cocoon,” “Come Back Home,” and “Elephant” in a special livestream event on the PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS YouTube channel, hosted by K-pop phenomenon DAYOUNG. The performances drew viewers worldwide and underlined just how naturally her sound translates across platforms and audiences.
The résumé behind this moment is significant. Born Danielle Balbuena, 070 Shake has built a catalog across ‘Modus Vivendi’ (2020), ‘You Can’t Kill Me’ (2022), and ‘Petrichor’ (2024) that earns unanimous critical respect. She co-wrote Beyoncé’s “Amen” and “Alien Superstar” from ‘Cowboy Carter’ and ‘Renaissance’. “Guilty Conscience” is Gold-certified. Her collaboration with RAYE, “Escapism,” is 2x Platinum. DIOR named her a global ambassador.
This summer, she joins Daniel Caesar on his “SON OF SPERGY” tour across North America, opening August 5 in Ottawa and closing August 24 in Anaheim. Arena dates throughout Canada and the US west coast make this one of the summer’s most compelling support runs.
