Rum and Raybans

"Rum and Raybans" is a song by American recording artist Sean Kingston, featuring vocals from British singer Cher Lloyd. Written by Cameron Forbes and produced by "The Elev3n",[1] the song was originally released as the second single from Kingston's third studio album, Back 2 Life but was scrapped due to poor charting and promotion. It was released on November 16, 2012 as a digital download, in both a clean and an explicit version,[2] and then again on July 6, 2018 as an EP including the acapella and instrumental versions of the track.
