- "Let's rock, everybody, let's rock"
—Elvis Presley
"Audio" is a song by pop music group LSD featuring Labrinth, Sia and Diplo. The song was released on 10 May 2018,[1] and is the group's second single, following "Genius".[2]
Music video
The song's music video was directed by Ernest Desumbila. It opens with Diplo purchasing a used BMW 8 Series and finding a fresh LSD tape in the glovebox. As he hits play on "Audio", the clip jumps to a young girl walking home from school, who encounters a singing Sia balloon floating through the air. The girl takes the balloon with her to a sprawling parking lot, where a dance routine breaks out once the "Audio" chorus drops. More psychedelic animations fill the scenery as Diplo speeds through the parched Los Angeles riverbed and Labrinth wanders the otherwise empty city.[3]
The CID Remix of the song received a video featuring a dance choreography.

Lyrics
We got a ride, we got the night
I got the bottle, you got the light
We got the stars (stars)
We got audio
We're gonna fly, we're getting high
You got the moon dust, I got the sky
We got the stars (stars)
We got audio
Make the bomb bomb beat
I'll give you melody
Make the bomb bomb beat
I'll give you melody
Make the song so sweet
You gon' come home with me, oh
Make the bomb bomb beat
I'll give you melody
Make the bomb bomb beat
I'll give you melody
Make the song so sweet
You gon' come home with me, oh
Ay, ay
That audio
Play that audio
That that
You got the heart, we got the soul
Just when the world saying they got no hold
Here comes the love
We got audio (a-audio)
We flying high, superhero
S on my chest, with my Marilyn Monroe
Feel like a star (star)
'Cause we got audio
Make a go
Make the bomb bomb beat
I'll give you melody
Make the bomb bomb beat
I'll give you melody
Make the song so sweet
You gon' come home with me, oh
Make a go
Make the bomb bomb beat
I'll give you melody
Make the bomb bomb beat
I'll give you melody
Make the song so sweet
You gon' come home with me, oh
Play that audio
That, that
Play that audio
That that
Play that audio
We can't live on without the rhythm (sayin', no, no)
We can't live on without the rhythm (sayin', no, no)
We can't live on without the rhythm (can't live with the rhythm)
We can't live on without the rhythm (sayin', no, no)
We can't live on without the rhythm (play that audio)
We can't live on without the rhythm (play that audio)
We can't live on without the rhythm (play that that)
We can't live on without the rhythm (that that)
We can't live on without the rhythm
We can't live on without the rhythm
