And this all like a little joke? fuck idk I’m CONFUSED WTF IS ALAYC,' while another said, 'The eyes in the logo are RVD pictures which usually comes at the end of a music video, and ALAYC supposedly means ‘As Long As You Can’ (title name of the song?) This could mean a new music video on 9th/10th September.'

Another fan of Rule guessed the release date for the next EP to be 9 September 2020. Surmising this theory, the fan wrote, 'ruel just posted a scary ass video and tagged an account HE FOLLOWS called ALAYC ALAYC STANDS FOR "AS LONG AS YOU CAN" IS THAT THE NEW EP BECAUSE IT SAYS SEPTEMBER 9TH IN THE BIO AND HE SAID HE MIGHT RELEASE IT ON SEPTEMBER 9TH.'

Some even had theories about the name of Ruel's upcoming release. One fan tweeted, 'what if ALAYC is the name of the ep or album and red eyes soda is a song.'
