"Roadshow (KRYptic Funk)" is a song by Irish virtual band, KRYptid, featuring Bruno Mars and Canadian singer, Ciara Baxton. It was written by Akio Eiji and was co-written by Bruno Mars, and was produced by Akio himself. The song was originally intended to be featured on KRYptid's 2015 post-hiatus album, WhatChaoWeDo?, but was instead released as a non-album single on February 9, 2015, being dubbed a "return from hiatus single" on the cover and music video. The song features samples of "Chic Cheer" by Chic, the "Break 4 Love" drum break by Raze, and James Brown's famous, "Hit me!" line. The song uses a similar style to early house music, and "Roll (Burbank Funk)" by The Internet, although said song was released sometime after Roadshow (KRYptic Funk)'s release. The song features uncredited vocals from Akio Eiji himself, where he voiced fictional lead member, Liam "Yulee" West in the intro.

The song was recorded during 2013, before KRYptid's two-year hiatus. Shortly after recording the song, KRYptid would begin its hiatus, and the song wasn't released until 2015.
