Lizzo UCB – Lizzo’s new go-go-inspired collaboration with UCB, or the Uncalled 4 Band, arrives June 5 and interpolates UCB’s 2005 hit “Sexy Lady,” already drawing buzz after a surprise appearance shared on Instagram.
By the time Lizzo mouths along to a snippet of her upcoming song, it feels like the beat has already taken over the room.
In an Instagram post. the pop star appears in a matching Universal Madness jacket and skirt set as two members of UCB — the Uncalled 4 Band — open a van door and make a surprise appearance. The clip carries a content warning that the video includes language that may be unsuitable for certain audiences.
The collaboration is go-go inspired and is set to mix hip-hop with the unmistakable bounce of D.C.’s homegrown sound. It also interpolates UCB’s 2005 hit “Sexy Lady,” a detail that has fans and critics already trading reactions as the release date approaches.
The track is out on June 5, and the buzz around it has built largely from that sudden on-camera moment — Lizzo leaning into the rhythm while the group steps in from the van — the kind of crossover that’s aimed at more than just a radio hook.
What’s clear from the early attention is that this isn’t presented as a distant homage. It’s an on-the-ground collaboration tied directly to UCB’s earlier legacy, now reworked with Lizzo’s style and timed for a June 5 drop.
