"Now and Later" is a song by American rapper Sage the Gemini. It was released on October 14, 2016, as the lead single from his debut mixtape, Morse Code (2017).[1] The song was used in a popular Snapchat filter.
Background
[edit]In an interview with Genius, Sage the Gemini spoke on the creation process behind the song:
I was working with APG (Artist Publishing Group) for a very long time and I remember when I was like 19, we tried to come up with a candy song but we just could not do it. Obviously it was very hard since it took me almost like five years to get it nailed. I don’t follow blueprints or whatever. So it just came to me. I wasn't like 'Ooh, I'm going to do this kind of song.' I heard it and as soon as they played it for me I was like 'This is a hit.' I went down there, told him to cut my microphone on, and I just started flowing out of my mind.[2][3]
Music video
[edit]The song's accompanying music video premiered on December 3, 2016, on Sage's YouTube account.[4]
Commercial performance
[edit]"Now and Later" debuted on the Bubbling Under R&B/Hip-Hop Singles chart after it was featured in promotion as a Snapchat filter in late November 2016.[5] It later peaked at number 93 on US Billboard Hot 100 for the week of February 25, 2017.[6]
