"Moonlight" is a song by American singer Kali Uchis. It was released on February 23, 2023 as the second and final single from her third studio album, Red Moon in Venus.[2]
On November 20, 2022, Uchis first teased "Moonlight" through her TikTok account.[citation needed]
The official music video was officially released on April 20, 2023, a date associated with cannabis-oriented celebrations, which could be a parallelism to the song's lyrics. It was directed by Colin Tilley and Sarah McColgan.[3]
In August 2023, the song received viral media attention after being featured in various edited clips depicting an anime boy turning into a girl from the music video for "Colors" by Hiroyuki Sawano and Motohiro Hata.[4]
