J. Cole dropped "Middle Child" in January 2019 as the first single from Revenge of the Dreamers III, the Dreamville compilation, and the title does the explaining: Cole casts himself as rap's middle child, caught between hip-hop's old guard and its new generation. It went out through Dreamville, Roc Nation and Interscope, and by February 5 it was headed to rhythmic and urban contemporary radio.
Cole produced it with T-Minus, and it samples "Wake Up to Me" by First Choice, so that song's writers, Allan Felder and Norman Harris, share the writing credit with the two of them. MF Mez recorded and mixed it.
