"Euphoria" on YouTube

"Euphoria" (stylized in all lowercase) is a diss track written and recorded by American rapper Kendrick Lamar, in response to Canadian rapper Drake's single "Push Ups" and his independently released song "Taylor Made Freestyle". It was unexpectedly released on April 30, 2024, through Interscope Records, initially as a YouTube exclusive before being released to streaming platforms hours later. "Euphoria" takes its name from the American teen drama series of the same name, of which Drake serves as an executive producer, as well as referencing a monologue by the late David Carradine's titular character in the 2004 film Kill Bill: Volume 2 in response to the film's heroine Uma Thurman's seeming support for Drake in the feud.

The song was produced by Cardo and Kyuro, with additional work from Johnny Juliano, Sounwave, and Daveon "Yung Exclusive" Jackson. Its extended introduction contains a sample of Teddy Pendergrass's 1981 song "You're My Latest, My Greatest Inspiration", and credits its composer Kenneth Gamble. "Euphoria" was met with generally positive reviews from music critics, who praised its humorous yet hateful tone, Lamar's versatile performance, and complex entendres. "Euphoria" broke the single-day streaming record for a hip-hop song in 2024.
