We Still Don't Trust You is the second collaborative studio album by American rapper Future and American record producer Metro Boomin. It was released on April 12, 2024, through Freebandz, Epic Records, Boominati Worldwide, and Republic Records. The album contains guest appearances from the Weeknd, Chris Brown, Brownstone, Ty Dolla Sign, J. Cole, Lil Baby, and ASAP Rocky. Production was primarily handled by Metro himself, with help from Mike Dean, Wheezy, Dre Moon, Southside, Chopsquad DJ, Allen Ritter, Oz, Honorable C.N.O.T.E., and others. It followed Future and Metro Boomin's first collaboration, We Don't Trust You, which was released three weeks before We Still Don't Trust You.
A double album, with the first disc being R&B-focused and the second disc being hip hop- and trap-focused, it was supported by one single, its title track, with the Weeknd. The album received generally favorable reviews from critics and debuted atop the US Billboard 200, like its predecessor.
Background and promotion
In January 2023, Metro Boomin first teased news of a collaborative album with Future.[1] Metro later promised that their collaborative album would be released that year, but that did not occur.[2]
Two collaborative albums were announced by Future and Metro on March 8, 2024. The first album was We Don't Trust You, with a release date of March 22; a second album was expected on April 12.[3] The journalist Elliott Wilson further confirmed the information.[4] On April 4, Future and Metro formally revealed the second album's title and release date through a trailer, showing the duo in white suits.[5] Metro later confirmed on Twitter that We Still Don't Trust You was its own project, not a deluxe edition of We Don't Trust You.[6] [7] They formally revealed the album's cover art on April 10, 2024.[8] A day later, they revealed the album's tracklist.[9]
In 2024, Future and Metro will embark on the We Trust You Tour in support of We Still Don't Trust You and its predecessor.[10]
Singles
The music video for the album's title track was released on April 13, 2024.[11] It was delivered to Italian radio on April 19, 2024, as the album's lead single.[12]
Composition
Musically, We Still Don't Trust You is noted for expanding out of the duo's "customary hip-hop and trap" genres,[13] in favor of a trap-influenced R&B sound.[14] The album's first disc further incorporates elements of synth-pop,[15] while its second disc is noted as returning to the trap music present in We Don't Trust You.
Critical reception
Writing for Clash, Robin Murray compared the album to its prequel, saying that the album was "even more bloated" despite some positive elements. Murray noted that although there were several memorable tracks, "there's a huge amount [of songs] that simply passes you by" due to a lack of structure and substance. Sputnikmusics Dakota West Foss wrote that the album had "little to offer" and wrote that the length of the album fed into his negative review; Foss described it as "somewhat of a tortuous war of attrition". Foss described the album as "airy", "forgettable", and a prime example of "quantity over quality".
Commercial performance
In the United States, We Still Don't Trust You debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 with 124,500 album-equivalent units, which included 162.57 million on-demand streams and 2,500 pure album sales.[16] It marked Future's tenth and Metro Boomin's fifth number-one album in the country.[16]
