I'm just learning this:
“euphoria” serves as Kendrick’s highly anticipated response to Drake’s April 2024 diss tracks, “Push Ups” and “Taylor Made Freestyle,” which came after Kendrick targeted Drake and J. Cole on Future and Metro Boomin’s March 2024 single, “Like That.”
His first solo release since his 2022 album Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers, this surprise dropped via YouTube on April 30, 2024 at 8:24 am Pacific Standard Time as a subtle nod to fellow Los Angeles legend and former Laker, the late Kobe Bryant—8 and 24 were Kobe’s jersey numbers. “euphoria” became available via streaming services a few hours later.
