My First Song: She Loves Balenciaga, Made With Mally Mall
By Ray Diaz · October 2026
I have been on camera for most of my life. Commercials, television, film, and now couples comedy with my partner Hannah. This year I did something I had never done before. I released a song.
It is called She Loves Balenciaga. It features Mally Mall and came out on September 6, 2026. It is on Spotify and every major streaming platform, and you can play it right here.
How it happened
Mally Mall has been a friend to me for a long time, and a business partner too. He watched what Hannah and I were building with our couples comedy, and he saw something in it that we had not fully seen ourselves. He told us we had the talent and the presence to make music together, and that a song could open a new lane for our family.
He did not have to do that. Mally has spent more than twenty years working with some of the biggest names in music. He chose to spend his time on us because he believed in us.
The part that matters most
The thing I will remember about this song is not the release. It is why Mally wanted to make it.
He wanted my son to see what it looks like to be in a real studio. To watch his parents create something from nothing, around people who do it at the highest level. Mally told me that when my son is old enough, he wants to be the one to guide him in this business.
Some people help you with a song. Mally was thinking about my son's future.
That is who Mally Mall is to my family. Most people know the credits. We know the person.
Who Mally Mall is
Mally Mall, born Jamal Rashid, is a record producer and executive from California who grew up studying Bay Area producers. He earned his first production credits on Bone Thugs-N-Harmony records, became widely known after Drake shouted him out on The Motto, and built his own labels, Mally Mall Music and Future Music.
Over more than two decades his production and writing credits have included Justin Bieber, Chris Brown, Drake, Usher, Snoop Dogg, Nipsey Hussle, The Weeknd and Wiz Khalifa. He co-produced and co-wrote songs on Justin Bieber's Journals era, including Hold Tight, and released his own singles including Drop Bands On It with Wiz Khalifa and Tyga. He is credited as a co-producer and co-writer on Bruce Lee and Delusional from Chris Brown's 11:11 (Deluxe), which won Best R&B Album at the 67th Grammy Awards in 2025.
A new chapter, made as a family
This song is part of the same story as everything Hannah and I make. It is couples content, it is family, and it is us trying something new together. The difference is that this time you can put it on in the car.
Press play, add it to a playlist, and if it makes you smile, share it. That is how a first song finds its way.
