In a video shared on social media, Paintsil featured Ghanaian artists Kweku Flick and Joe Kay on the song Merci Beaucoup.
Paintsil takes his music career seriously despite combining it with his football.
The talented winger moved to the United States last year to join Los Angeles Galaxy where he became an instant hit, helping the club to their sixth MLS title.
The former KRC Genk player scored in the final as LA Galaxy defeated the New York Red Bulls to win the Championship in 2024. Paintsil contributed 14 goals in the last campaign.
This season, the Ghanaian international missed the first five matches of the campaign but returned to action in the 2-1 defeat to St Louis.
The LA Galaxy Designated Player is expected to replicate last season's form as the MLS giants seek to retain the title.

The LA Galaxy star spends time doing music if he is not on the pitch.
He said, as quoted by My Joy Online:
“I'm happy to share my music with the world.
"Football will always be my first love, but I also love music and I do it in my leisure time. I worked on this EP while I was out injured and sometimes boredom could set in after training. I hope everyone enjoys it.”
"Emergency" features a good mix of genres including Blessings, Nobody, Rejoice, Monalisa, Fine Like You, Higher (ft. Kweku Flick), and Merci Beaucoup (ft. Kweku Flick and Joekay)."
Blessings, which is the first song on the EP, was first performed by the footballer during LA Galaxy's title parade last year.
Painstil will be hoping his first EP makes strides as he properly ventures into music on the Ghanaian scene.
