This sensational song was Released on April 14, 2017. It was the perfect set up – Sounwave with GQ. So we reached out to U2 and they just came with it. Literally we had the first two parts of the song done and we needed that last piece to be perfect. It’s like “Yo, this is perfect timing.” So Kendrick reached out to Bono and the rest is history. Whenever we’d be working on a project it just wouldn’t feel right. Kendrick and Bono always talk back and forth through text and they always wanted to work with each other. Instead of it being this big crossover record, he made it real authentic. It’s dope that Kendrick made this record the way he did with U2 on it he made it real hip-hop. The first time was on Quincy Jones’ album with Ray Charles and Stevie Wonder. The talented artist talk about this song saying “This is the second time I got a chance to do a record with Bono.
Gang members or terrorists, et cetera, et ceteraĪmerica’s reflections of me, that’s what a mirror does. “ You overnight the big rifles, then tell Fox to be scared of us He breaks down how the last verse of the song calls out America for its hyprocrisy in these lines: YouTuber Justin Hunte goes into depth in this video about “XXX.” and how Kendrick is representing his generation. However, on his path to weakness, Kendrick continues on after “LOVE.,” where he expresses his feeling towards his significant other, and, on this track, Kendrick expresses what he would do to protect his woman as well as his immediate family, before giving his life to God. Going with the original album play-through or the backwards play theory, in his path of wickedness, Kendrick begins to question the hypocritical ways of America after setting aside his Godly ways and overcoming fear. The track itself seems to be a transitional moment on the album. I just happened to have an album coming out, so I just asked, ‘Yo, would you do me this honor of letting me use this record, use this idea that I want to put together because I’m hearing a certain type of 808, a certain drum to it.’ And he was open to it. He sent it over, I laid some ideas to it, and we didn’t know where it was going. We had a record we were supposed to be doing together. In an August 2017 interview with Rolling Stone, Kendrick described how this song came together: Kendrick teams up with rock legends U2 on “XXX.,” which delves deeper into the political and religious themes heard throughout DAMN.
