Set to be released alongside a music video on June 26, the remix of the iconic jingle has allowed the 26-year-old artist to reconnect with cherished childhood memories. GloRilla reminisced about her experiences growing up, stating that the jingle would play as she returned home from school, enveloped in the bliss of watching cartoons with her siblings. “It just brings back memories of being a kid, and it’s crazy that I get to do the song now,” she reflected.
Reflecting on her love for the jingle, GloRilla shared, “When I was little, my favourite version of ‘Eat ‘Em Up’ was the one with the peanut butter chocolate flavour.” As she prepared for the remix, she partnered with Lyrical Lemonade to bring the song to life through a whimsical music video, directed by Ari Mairena-Dannon. The video transports viewers to a vibrant cereal-themed fantasy world, featuring GloRilla lounging on the edge of a bowl that resembles a pool, overflowing with Reese’s Puffs and milk.
Describing her experience on set, GloRilla enthused, “That part was actually just super fun. It felt like I was actually in a real bowl of Reese’s Puffs.” With joy radiating from her words, she added, “The whole time I’m just thinking about, ‘Wow, I’m living the dream of what I saw when I was a kid.'”
In addition to the musical unveil, Reese’s Puffs will also launch a limited-edition cereal box emblazoned with GloRilla’s face. Fans will have the opportunity to purchase this exclusive item starting at 1 p.m. ET on June 29 via the brand’s website. GloRilla expressed her excitement, stating, “I can’t believe it. I’m still trying to make myself believe that I’m that famous.”
The remix comes after a string of recent releases from GloRilla, including singles titled “Special,” “March,” and “Typa.” Her journey as an artist has been commendable since her debut album, “Glorious,” which was launched in October 2024. She is now diligently working towards completing her next full-length project. “I’ve been working on it since my last album dropped,” she explained, noting her commitment to creating something exceptional. “I’ve been trying not to overthink it and make it as good as ‘Glorious’ was,” GloRilla added, projecting an air of confidence as she nears the finish line with her new work.
Fans of GloRilla can also look forward to a tantalising collaboration that she has hinted at during the 2026 American Music Awards. While she remained tight-lipped on details, she confirmed that one of the collaborations will feature a member of Destiny’s Child. “They going to find out when it drops,” she teased, building anticipation for her future releases.
As GloRilla continues to ascend within the music industry, this whimsical duet with Reese’s Puffs not only encapsulates her childhood nostalgia but also reflects her artistic evolution and growing fame. With each new project and collaboration, GloRilla is further solidifying her place within the music scene, capturing the hearts of listeners both old and new.
As her remix of “Eat ‘Em Up” prepares to hit platforms, fans are eager to see what GloRilla’s second album will hold, which promises to build on her already impressive legacy.
