"Super Rich Kids" comes from Channel Orange, Frank Ocean's 2012 debut studio album, with Earl Sweatshirt riding shotgun, and Def Jam sent it out as the record's fifth single on March 11, 2013. Ocean first played it live in 2011 and brought it along on his Channel Orange Tour in 2012.
It's R&B and neo soul with a deadpan grin, a portrait of bored, moneyed young things and their dread of the financial crisis, built from nods to and samples of Elton John's "Bennie and the Jets", Marvin Gaye's "Got to Give It Up" and Mary J. Blige's "Real Love". Critics liked it, it charted in America and Britain, and it later turned up on Gossip Girl and in the film The Bling Ring.
