Background and composition

Faiyaz announced his partnership with UnitedMasters, and released his debut mixtape, Larger than Life in 2023. He later went on hiatus, making a guest appearance on American rapper Loe Shimmy's November 2024 remix of "For Me". [1] On July 3, 2025, Faiyaz would clear his Instagram page, suggesting that he was preparing for an album, before posting a picture of what was interpreted as a promotional cover for the album. [2] "Full Moon" serves as a follow up to the project’s first two promotional singles–“Tony Soprano” and “Peter Pan”–which were released as a double single on July 4, 2025. [3] The song is 3 minutes and 11 seconds long, and contains a sample of Ken Carson's "Mewtwo" from his third studio album, A Great Chaos (2023). Its lyrics center around of a romantic rush in a moment that Faiyaz wishes he could be in longer. [3]

Release and reception

Faiyaz would release "Full Moon" on August 8, 2025 as a YouTube exclusive that was made available through his website. [4] [5] HotNewHipHop's Zachary Horvath wrote "The lyrics are simple but the vibes are immaculate." [6] The track later would be released to streaming services on February 16, 2026 through ISO Supremacy and UnitedMasters, off the reissue of Faiyaz's album Icon . [7]
