"Coast" is a song by American singer and actress Hailee Steinfeld, released as a single on July 29, 2022.[1][2] The song features American singer and songwriter Anderson .Paak, and is Steinfeld's first release in two years since her 2020 EP Half Written Story.[3] The music video was released on November 11, 2022.[4]

Background and release[edit]

On April 19, 2022 Steinfeld teased a part of the song in a commercial for "Core Hydration" and made it available for pre-save, she explained later that; "I'm very excited about the fact that this is just a very small taste of what's to come. I cannot wait to put music out. It's been a long time coming".[5] On July 20, 2022, she officially announced the release date for July 29, 2022. On July 23, 2022, through her Instagram account she revealed that song would be a collaboration with Anderson .Paak.[6]

Steinfeld noted that,

The only artist I envisioned collaborating with on this track was my friend, Anderson .Paak. Knowing he loved the song enough to lend his genius to it is absolutely surreal, and I am forever grateful to have his support".[7]

The song was released on July 29, 2022, through digital platforms.[8]

Composition[edit]

The song was described as "a vibey, electric guitar-backed pop earworm".[9] "Coast" was composed in B major with 112 beats per minute.[10]

Reception[edit]

Upon release, the song received generally positive reviews. Billboard wrote that the song "is intriguingly less shiny than previous hits, instead opting for laid-back, breezy production. Perfect for the end of summer as the days begin to cool down, "Coast" finds Steinfeld and first-time collaborator Anderson .Paak bottle up the feeling of a relationship's casual beginnings".[11] V writer Ava Manson praised the song noting that it "gives the energy of a seasoned creative all the way, from rhythmic intro to lively chorus" and that "years may have passed since [Steinfeld's] last drop, but you'd never deem her out of practice with the craft".[12]
