Kendrick Lamar dropped "Euphoria" without warning on April 30, 2024, through Interscope, his answer to Drake's "Push Ups" and "Taylor Made Freestyle" in the thick of their very public feud. It sat on YouTube alone for a matter of hours before reaching streaming services, and it was his first release since leaving Top Dawg Entertainment and Aftermath.
It's a diss track with no use for subtlety: Lamar spells out his hatred for Drake and paints him as a scam artist, and the title apparently nods to the TV series Euphoria, which Drake executive-produces. The intro samples Teddy Pendergrass's 1981 "You're My Latest, My Greatest Inspiration", which earns Kenneth Gamble a composer credit, and Cardo and Kyuro produced with help from Johnny Juliano, Sounwave and Yung Exclusive. Critics loved its mix of humor and venom, and Lamar later brought it to the Super Bowl LIX halftime show.
