As part of Blue Lips' official album rollout, Q released five singles along with associated music videos. Here is the complete list of singles released for ScHoolboy Q's upcoming sixth studio album:
1. 'Blue Slides'
On Feb. 6, Q released the first single from his album titled Blue Slides, with a music video that featured the backstage set-up for the album. The video ends with a dictionary definition of Blue Slides, with many sentences hidden.
The definition that is visible to viewers reads:
"Blue*Slides (bloo/slides) n. v. adj., sing. -slide, syn."
2. 'Back n Love (Feat. Devin Malik)'
Back n Love (Feat. Devin Malik) was released along with Blue Slides. The music video features ScHoolboy Q dancing around a man holding a cardboard with the words "Blue Lips" written on it.
The visuals cut between Q and an old VHS tape from when he was a child, highlighting him talking about doing drugs and being part of a gang.
3. 'Yeern 101'
On February 15, Q dropped the third single from the album titled Yeern 101. The music video depicts several scenes from ScHoolboy Q's daily life and routine including making music, shooting music videos, and playing golf.
Yeern 101's music video was directed by James Edward and Produced by Zoey Pressey, and Jolene Mendes.
4. 'Cooties'
On February 20, ScHoolboy Q released Cooties, as the fourth single from Blue Lips. The music video is divided into two parts, the first half finds the rapper performing his verse inside his house.
The second part, toward the end, showcases BTS footage of Q and James Edwards (Director) shooting on the set for Blue Lips.
5. 'Love Birds (Feat. Devin Malik & Lance Skiiiwalker)'
Along with Cooties, Q also released the fifth single titled Love Birds. The video appears to highlight that all the previous music videos were being shot on the same set, around the same time.
This would make sense as ScHoolboy Q is seen wearing the same outfit in all the videos, and a crew can be seen cleaning up a mess he made in the Yeern 101 music video.
This video also features the rapper holding up the cardboard with "Blue Lips" written on it, first seen in the Back n Love music video.
