"Storm" is an audiovisual project composed of two parts and developed by French producer Surkin—under his alias Genera8ion—in collaboration with Yung Lean. Both the double single and the short film were released on April 24, 2026.

The song blends electronic music and alternative rock, creating a composition with a strong, urban rhythm, and incorporating orchestral sounds. The choreography stands out as a language of resistance against isolation within a rigid system.

The song by Genera8ion and Yung Lean addresses, through a dark and dystopian representation, the moral and authoritarian void to which the young students confined within a boarding school are subjected. As a form of protest, the characters portray this situation through dance, using spasmodic movements that convey tension and unease.

The figure of Yung Lean stands out: lying amid the chaos, motionless, and presented as the image of a magnetic leader. This contrast creates a striking representation of power, reinforced by aggressive music that explores themes such as addiction and escape.

Lyrics.-

[Verse 1]
I got, got, got
I-I-I
You got a death wish
Got a death wish
Someone said
Someone said, "Hey, you got a death wish"
It’s on my hit list
I’m on the blacklist
On the Forbes list
Put it on my lip
I take another one

[Pre-Chorus]
And you won't die for some if you don't stand for none

[Chorus]
So just go ahead and run, run, run, run, run, run
Just go ahead and run, run, run, run, just go a—
If you won't die for some (If you won't die for some)
If you don't stand for none (If you don't stand for none)

[Verse 2]
Got a death wish
It’s on my hit list
I’m on the blacklist
On the Forbes list

Hey, hey (Hey, hey)
Hey, hey (Hey, hey)
Hey, hey (Hey, hey)
Hey, hey (Hey, hey)
Hey, hey (Hey, hey)
You got a death wish
