Tyler, the Creator, who reigns as one of America’s leading top stars yet continues to forge his own path, has released a bold new track in October 2024 that candidly portrays the pressures of celebrity.

Its meticulously crafted beat—featuring a sample from a Zambian rock band—and poetic lyrics that capture his anxiety and tension are especially striking.

The song is drawing attention as a lead single from the album “Chromakopia.” The music video features actress Ayo Edebiri and symbolically depicts Tyler fleeing from fans.

It’s a track that resonates with anyone struggling under the pressures of modern society.
