Kiyoko has performed the song live for sold-out crowds globally. Listen to the new tune below.

“Greenlight” has already become a fan favorite on tour. Kiyoko is taking over various mediums right now. Her debut novel, Girls Like Girls, a coming-of-age romance based on her breakthrough hit song and viral video of the same name will be published by Wednesday Books on May 30.

“I’ve spent a lot of time and energy trying to prove my worth to people,” Kiyoko said in a statement. “[I’ve] realized that if a situation in life is stopping you from moving forward or making you feel trapped it’s okay to pivot in a new direction.”

Anyone who can’t catch Kiyoko’s world tour live before it caps in early June can watch her sing “Greenlight” live on June 15 at Proctor & Gamble and iHeartMedia’s “Can’t Cancel Pride 2023 – The Future Starts Now.“
