Rex Orange County & Daniel Caesar Reunite on "Indecision"

Rex Orange County and Daniel Caesar just dropped a new song together called "Indecision." It's a slow, soulful duet about knowing how you feel and still not being able to make up your mind. The song came out on August 19, 2026, and it's already been named BBC Radio 1's Hottest Record. Here's who these two are, how they ended up working together, and why this song makes sense as their next step.

Who Are Rex Orange County and Daniel Caesar?

Rex Orange County (real name Alexander O'Connor) is a singer-songwriter from England. He's known for warm, laid-back songs that mix bedroom pop with jazz and soul chords, first breaking through with albums like Apricot Princess and later Pony and WHO CARES? His music is all about being open and a little awkward about feelings, which is a big part of why fans love him.

Daniel Caesar is a Grammy-winning R&B singer from Canada. He's known for his smooth, gospel-tinged voice on songs like "Get You" and "Best Part," and albums like Freudian and CASE STUDY 01. His music leans heavy on themes of love, faith, and self-doubt, sung in a voice that feels intimate, like he's singing straight to you.

Put those two styles together and it's an easy match: both artists write quiet, honest songs about relationships and second-guessing yourself. That's exactly what "Indecision" is about, so pairing them up isn't a stretch. It's two artists doing what they're already best at, just together.

How They Met and Started Working Together

"Indecision" isn't the first time these two have teamed up. Back in 2025, Rex Orange County and Daniel Caesar released a double single, "Rearrange My World" and "There's a Field (That's Only Yours)," which also featured Mustafa and Blood Orange's Devonté Hynes. That project is what first got them in the studio together.

The partnership kept going from there. Rex went on to co-write and co-produce songs on Daniel Caesar's 2025 album, Son of Spergy. Spending that much time working closely together is what built the trust it takes to make a song like "Indecision" happen, one where both artists have to sound genuinely vulnerable, not just show up for a guest verse.

What Made "Indecision" Possible

By the time they got to "Indecision," this wasn't two strangers meeting up for a feature. It was two collaborators who already knew how to work together, picking up right where they left off. On the song, they trade lines about doubting your own feelings, and having that existing chemistry meant they could go straight to being honest instead of starting from scratch. That's likely why the song feels less like a guest verse and more like an actual conversation between two people.

The Video, Shot in Montana

"Indecision" comes with a music video directed by Rhys Scarabosio and filmed in Montana. The wide-open, quiet scenery matches the song's mood: nothing flashy, just space to sit with the feeling the song is about.

What's Next

BBC Radio 1 already named "Indecision" its Hottest Record, and with this now being their second collaboration in two years, some fans are already hoping it's building toward a full joint album. Nothing's been confirmed yet, so for now it's just speculation, but the pattern (features, songwriting credits, and now a second single together) suggests this isn't the last we'll hear from the two of them.
