On Friday, the song "Bop" was released, which Duplantis wrote together with Rasmus Wahlgren and Emil Berg.
There have been some reactions. It seems like people like it, says the pole vault star to Aftonbladet.
This is just the first and I have a lot more that I will release. But whether it goes super well or flops doesn't play a bigger role. I think it's awesome and I love being in the studio so I'll keep recording music.
Duplantis says he devotes himself to music when it suits him, sometimes barely anything at all in a month, sometimes several times a week.
I want to do more, but I'm still very obsessed with being the best pole vaulter I can be. But I love it and take it very seriously and get obsessed with music too.
It's a small side gig, but I love having something else to take me away from pole vaulting and sports sometimes. It's very good for the head.
Tonight, the world record holder will pole vault in a competition in Clermont-Ferrand, France. On March 21-23, he will also participate in the World Championship indoors in Nanjing, China.
Corrected: In an earlier version, Emil Berg got the wrong first name.
