"Kyoto" is a song by Swedish rapper Yung Lean, released in 2013.

Development

"Kyoto" was created in ten to fifteen minutes, with the hook of the track being built around only one vocal take.[1]

Release

"Kyoto" was considered by The Fader to be Yung Lean's breakthrough track and his most popular song.[2] A music video for the song was filmed in Amsterdam, and Yung Lean recalls a high-budget production company wanting to make a video for the song: "They came up with an idea and I was like, no fuck that, I want quads, I want a car, I want us to be sponsored by Versace and North Face. I was dreaming and making shit up but they came through."[3]
