About this song
- “Shangri-La” was likely recorded in Summer 2014. Prior to its official release, little was known about the track, except that it was one of the few Balloonerism tracks recorded after the March 2014 sessions where most of the album was finalized. In a leaked tracklist photographed in September 2014—but dating back as early as April 2014—a song called “Shangri La Yes Yes” appears as track 15/15. Fans speculate that the track was recorded at Rick Rubin’s Shangri-La studio in Malibu, CA. Mac was known to frequent this studio around the time of recording. ”Shangri-La” is featured in the 2025 short film Balloonerism. .
