Sanguine Paradise is the first track that Lil Uzi Vert brought to their fans following their management deal with Roc Nation back in March 2019. Released on April 9, 2019, the track was initially recorded for their second studio album, but couldn't be released due to the label issues Uzi faced with Generation Now/ Atlantic Records at the time.

Another track from Lil Uzi Vert's debut album, The Way Life Goes was dropped on October 3, 2017. Vert drew inspiration for the song from the British Indie pop duo, Oh Wonder, and also invited the artists to collaborate with them on the track.

8) Money Mitch (2016)
Belonging to Lil Uzi Vert's fourth mixtape, The Perfect Luv Tape, Money Mitch is a song that glorifies the hustle culture.

9) Super Saiyan (2015)
Super Saiyan is regarded as Lil Uzi Vert's first breakthrough hit, released in December 2015. It belongs to their Luv Is Rage album.
Through the track, Uzi pays homage to one of their favorite animated shows, Dragon Ball Z, resulting in the large fan base of the show relating to it. The visual released for the track sees Uzi in an off-white hoodie with a styrofoam cup in their hands, dancing to the track's beats.
10) New Patek (2018)
Released on September 18, 2018, New Patek marks Lil Uzi Vert's solo single from that year. It was initially expected to be included in Eternal Atake, but didn't make the tracklist ultimately.
Unlike the alien stance taken up by Uzi in their second studio album, New Patek sees the rapper transform into an underwater creature when he says:
"I am a octopus, I cannot breathe without water So I put diamonds on my tentacles."
The track stood No. 24 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and had a mention of Drake as well as Naruto - a character from the namesake Japanese anime.
While Lil Uzi Vert went on their first solo headlining tour last year, whether or not they announce another tour for their most recent album, Eternal Atake 2, remains to be seen.
