Isaac recorded another song during his weekly drum lessons, performing "Earrings" by Malcolm Todd in the studio. Released on April 5, 2024, "Earrings" is the opening track from Malcolm Todd's debut mixtape, "Sweet Boy." Written by Malcolm Todd and Jonah Cochran, the song quickly connected with listeners through its blend of indie pop, alternative R&B, and nostalgic production. The track explores themes of heartbreak, missed opportunities, and the struggle to reconnect with someone after a relationship begins to fade. Built around catchy melodies, layered vocals, grooving percussion, and retro-inspired keys and guitar riffs, "Earrings" became a breakout hit for Malcolm Todd and experienced a major rise in popularity through streaming platforms and social media.
