When It's Dark Out is the third studio album by American rapper G-Eazy. It was first made available for a pre-order on iTunes on November 27, 2015. It was released on December 4, 2015, by RCA Records. Recording sessions took place during 2014 to 2015, with G-Eazy himself, alongside his frequent collaborator Christoph Andersson, and record producer Southside were serving as the executive producers on the album. The album features guest appearances from rappers E-40 and Big Sean, alongside recording artists Kehlani and Grace, while the production was provided by OZ, DJ Spinz, Boi-1da and Michael Keenan, among others.
The album was supported by four singles: "Me, Myself & I" with Bebe Rexha, "Order More" featuring Starrah, "Drifting" featuring Chris Brown and Tory Lanez and "Some Kind of Drug" featuring Marc E. Bassy.
Recording sessions took place during 2014 to 2015, with the executive production work that handled by G-Eazy himself, alongside with his frequent collaborator Christoph Andersson and the Southern hip hop record producer Southside. The album also would include some additional production from OZ and Michael Keenan, among others. G-Eazy spoke about expressing his feelings towards his fans about the sounds and how excited he was with this album. When It’s Dark Out was constructed to sound like it could accompany a horror movie as its soundtrack. During recording and production G-Eazy stated he was influenced by both Wes Craven and Tim Burton, which is why it features many piano loops and “foggy synths” throughout the entire album.
