Balloonerism has been floating around since before 2014 Faces mixtape, but the album’s mythos grew after Miller’s death in 2018. In 2020, the song “Do You Have A Destination” appeared on the now-defunct music forum LeakThis. The Faulty Jules YouTube channel explains that the LeakThis user who posted the song said it would be out early Faces. Metadata revealed that this was the third track from an unreleased album called Balloonerism. Over the next few days, the user continued to release songs from the album, including “The Song That Changed Everything” featuring SZA and an original version of Miller’s “Uber.” The rest of the album would soon find its way onto the internet, but never received an official release. Speculation surrounding the album continues to create waves within Miller’s fandom, as this Reddit overview details the album’s history.

When Tyler, the Creator and his cohorts will be released Balloonerism is still unknown. Perhaps it’s cold comfort to Miller fans that simply acknowledging its existence is the first step in getting it out of the vault.

Balloonerism isn’t the only Mac Miller release believed to be in the works. Last year, producer Madlib announced that he was putting the finishing touches on an unreleased EP. Miller’s last album, released posthumously Spaces, came out in 2020.
