Full BIGBABYGUCCI When You Wake Up Album Lyrics

When You Wake Up, originally known as Tears in the Sun, as shown by the file name of the album’s artwork on the artist Travis Baker’s website, is BIGBABYGUCCI’s twelfth studio album.

The album was first teased on November 15th, 2022, in a Tweet GUCCI made, stating:

i guess im working on an album

On December 5th, the album was teased alongside three snippets, two of which have since dropped: “BANK ACCOUNT,” in January 2023, and “Silver,” in March 2023. A day later, he posted another Tweet hinting at a Teen Spirit Radio 9 coming soon to accompany the album. Three days later, he announced that the album would be coming in January 2023.

GUCCI postponed the release of the album and released Homesick in January 2023 and Colors in March 2023 as filler until he was satisfied with When You Wake Up. These albums contained throwaways from Soda & Syrup and Iridesense and new songs that GUCCI didn’t want to include anywhere else.

The album would officially be announced with the cover art on December 26th, 2022, four days after the release of his single, “Diamonds from Sierra Leone.”

The first single intended for the album, “Alley Oop,” was released on June 1st, and the second, “Ride,” on June 21st. However, GUCCI stated he was unsure of whether or not Ride and Alley Oop would make it onto the final cut of the album, as there were so many different songs he wanted to include on it.

On August 6th, 2023, GUCCI gave an estimated time of arrival in October. The next day, he posted a teaser of the music video for the next single, “Man on the Moon,” which was released on August 10th.

On August 8th, continuing his streak, he posted another snippet to TikTok, sampling TikTok musician RJ Pasin’s track “Isekai.” This song was released at the end of the month, on August 31st, titled “Modern Day.”

GUCCI released a throwaway track titled “60 FLOORS UP,” for his birthday, in addition to teasing a Matt OX feature on the album. “60 FLOORS UP” was intended to release on the 31st to all platforms alongside “Modern Day,” but didn’t for unknown reasons.

On September 1st, he would take to X to announce a Call of Duty: Warzone tournament hosted by himself and OGG. The tournament was livestreamed on GUCCI’s Twitch channel on September 16th, where snippets from When You Wake Up were played during it.

On September 12th, following signing a contract with Alamo Records, the album was turned in.

On September 16th, a billboard of the album’s cover was shown in Los Angeles.

“Ken Doll!” was released on September 22nd, and GUCCI stated that it was the first single off the album, confirming that none of the singles previously mentioned would be on the tracklist except for “Ken Doll!”

On September 28th, BIGBABYGUCCI officially announced the album’s tracklist as well as the release date: October 13th.

“Drug Bender” was intended to release on the 6th as a single but never did, for unknown reasons.
