Tragic (song)


"Tragic" is a song by Australian rapper and singer the Kid Laroi featuring American rapper YoungBoy Never Broke Again and American music collective Internet Money, released on 6 November 2020 as the third track from the Savage edition of the former's debut mixtape F*ck Love.

Composition

"Tragic" is a "sparse soundtrack of looping snares and high piano keys" which's "beat is off-set and drops in and out of the mix." The song is "carefully arranged so as not to interrupt or distract from each of the vocal deliveries." It's noted that the song is the Kid Laroi's "autobiographical account of how he has made something of himself" and that "he's not so much angry as hurting."

Music video

The accompanying Steve Cannon-directed music video was released on 28 December 2020. Heran Mamo from Billboard compares the Kid Laroi in the video to a modern Robin Hood who steals to give back to his less fortunate family. At the time of the video's release, YoungBoy was incarcerated regarding firearms charges.
