It seems everyone has had Flying Lotus songs on their iPhones since 2019, we just didn’t know it. That’s because they were ringtones.

The news first appeared on the “Sound of Apple” episode of the Twenty Thousand Hertz podcast. Flying Lotus then took to X to confirm, saying, “Apple leaked it so I can say it.” The ringtones the artist composed are “Daybreak” and “Chalet,” which have been available since iOS 13 launched in September 2019.

Kinda makes you wonder if any other artists had a hand in our ringtones that we never knew about.
