A double album, with the first disc being R&B-focused and the second disc being hip hop- and trap-focused, it was supported by one single, its title track, with the Weeknd. The album received generally favorable reviews from critics and debuted atop the US Billboard 200, like its predecessor.
Background and promotion
In January 2023, Metro Boomin first teased news of a collaborative album with Future.[1] Metro later promised that their collaborative album would be released that year, but that did not happen.[2]
Two collaborative albums were announced by Future and Metro on March 8, 2024. The first album was We Don't Trust You, with a release date of March 22; a second album was expected on April 12.[3] The journalist Elliott Wilson further confirmed the information.[4] On April 4, Future and Metro formally revealed the second album's title and release date through a trailer, showing the duo in white suits.[5] Metro later confirmed on Twitter that We Still Don't Trust You was its own project, not a deluxe edition of We Don't Trust You.[6][7] They formally revealed the album's cover art on April 10, 2024.[8] A day later, they revealed the album's tracklist.[9]
In 2024, Future and Metro will embark on the We Trust You Tour in support of We Still Don't Trust You and its predecessor.[10]
Singles
The music video for the album's title track was released on April 13, 2024.[11] It was delivered to Italian radio on April 19, 2024, as the album's lead single.[12]
Composition
Musically, We Still Don't Trust You is noted for expanding out of the duo's "customary hip-hop and trap" genres,[13] in favor of a trap-influenced R&B sound.[14] The album's first disc further incorporates elements of synth-pop,[13][15] while its second disc is noted as returning to the trap music present in We Don't Trust You.[16]

According to the review aggregator Metacritic, We Still Don't Trust You received "generally favorable reviews" based on a weighted average score of 64 out of 100 from 5 critic scores. Writing for Clash, Robin Murray compared the album to its prequel, saying that the album was "even more bloated" despite some positive elements. Murray noted that although there were several memorable tracks, "there's a huge amount [of songs] that simply passes you by" due to a lack of structure and substance.[19] Sputnikmusic's Dakota West Foss wrote that the album had "little to offer" and wrote that the length of the album fed into his negative review; Foss described it as "somewhat of a tortuous war of attrition". Foss described the album as "airy", "forgettable", and a prime example of "quantity over quality".[21]
