“This song was so much fun to make and is exactly how we want to remember our brother Mac, we hope you guys like it.”

The above message by Free Nationals (who you may know through their performances with Anderson .Paak) is a great way to envision their new song “Time,” which acts as the first official posthumous record with the late Mac Miller. The track — which also features the equally-talented Kali Uchis — follows last year’s “Beauty & Essex” and speaks to time’s role in a relationship (as Mac Miller raps):

Look at me watering seeds, it’s time to grow
I get out of control when I’m alone
If you can make it with me, you can make it on your own
So quit the bulls*** and playing on my phone
We just need some time…

Press play on the bittersweet cut below.
