Some know him for songs like “Loving Is Easy,” “It’s Not the Same Anymore,” and “Pluto Projector.” In 2019, Rex Orange County debuted his album Pony. After taking a step back from the music industry, the singer is back with exciting news for fans. 

This artist is known for his cryptic messages, even apologizing on Twitter for his notable absence. Rex Orange County even mailed fans mysterious postcards sporting a cartoon creature in the shape of a thumbs up. 

The song’s title, “Keep It Up,” and a phone number were written on these cards. When fans dialed the number, a voicemail message said, “I know it isn’t easy, and you may have had enough. But I promise that it’s worth it if you try and keep it up.”

“Keep it up and go on,” Rex sings with the chorus. “You’re only holding out for what you want / You no longer owe the strangers / It’s enough, it’s enough.”

Since its debut, “Keep It Up” earned thousands of Spotify streams. Fans also shared their excitement for Rex Orange County’s upcoming album, Who Cares.
