Your mom was spot on. Kendrick wrote this song in the booth and recorded the vocals with the lights turned off. The producer said it was a really uncomfortable session because he just recorded while Kendrick was battling his demons right in front of him. She's extremely perceptive!

[@pineapple7024]

U is the only song I skip on this album because of how uncomfortable listening to it is, which is a shame because it’s a masterpiece

[@michaelrichards5340]

What's amazing is, I'm happy I missed when U would've ruined me, but I is where I am with my healing process now and the first time I heard U, I completely understood what he's doing and what causes it and tbh, u is an amazing example of what you should be doing to yourself, you should be able to tear down yourself, look at it raw, without bias, without external opinions of you, without yo grandmas exaggerated opinions of you, the trick with humans is, when you tear down the weakness, tne faults, the errors, the ugly.... Don't dwell in it, fix it. Because you KNOW the problem. Which is why it's one of my fav songs of all time because I did exactly what he did to himself in my room, broke af, during covid 2020. And now I'm so changed, it pulls positivity towards me. Rn tho, I.. literally got me to do overtime while I listening to it at work 😂

[@WestKosBias]

Bless your mother. Her feelings and interpretation is 100% correct. Because it’s hers. That’s what musical art is about. Her overstanding of what the song can be used for is the same as what I was thinking…… Sometimes when your in a dark place. Open your eyes to see the darkness.

[@MommaTaunT]

❤

[@tobilobafanikayode1788]

I loved watching this. I'm a fan of Kendrick Lamar and it's so touching to see someone so intuitively feel and understand his message. Mama was 100% right. This song is based on a true story of Kendrick falling into a depression whilst he was on tour- he locked himself up in a hotel room, drank a lot and had suicidal thoughts. He was dealing with survival's guilt because he felt he had abandoned Compton- following his recent rise to fame- and his community was still struggling with poverty and violence. Kendrick is particularly affected by an incident that occurred before he became famous, where his close friend's younger brother was shot and killed. If you listen to 'Sing About Me, I'm Dying of Thirst' from his previous album- he recounts this story through the perspective of the older brother (First verse). There's also another song on To Pimp A Butterfly called 'These Walls' about Kendrick's vengeful thoughts against the murderer. So this incident is very much a recurring theme in Kendrick's discography. But back to 'U'...the song also addresses Kendrick's guilt over his sister getting pregnant at a young age- he felt that he failed to be a positive influence in her life, despite some of the songs on his past mixtapes that were made to uplift and positively influence young women. In general, Kendrick really struggles with self love. A lot of his music reflects that he does have an ego, but if you pay close attention you'll see he takes every opportunity to make himself smaller. The theme of duality is constant within his art. 'To Pimp A Butterfly' was designed to resemble the structure of a poem- so the songs are not necessarily meant to be sonically pleasing. But the album contains an immense amount of energy and is a beautiful emotional roller coaster. Sending you lots of healing energy Mama!

[@sr.cabritopredador5130]

i just listened to this song yesterday after feeling so bad. i needed a little help to distress. in 8 years without crying i totally was demolished. my day was already horrible, my year has been horrible but this song was the little impact i needed to get back. yeah i'm watching a reaction video the day after but its just cause i really enjoy seeing how other people react to the things that impact me. much love yall.

[@Purplecandii1000]

Omg mom was spot on. He was talking to himself. I get what she said about not sonically pleasing but I have listened to TPAB fully at least 12 times since it was released. Kendrick fans know that Kenny makes music for himself first. He can make hits and sonically pleasing songs but at times it’s to remind everyone that he can. All his albums has a general theme for the most part and kinda reflects on his current state of life of state he’s coming out of. Forever a fan

[@biyela.talent_]

Forever a fan too. Kendrick's music is really him inviting you to get a piece of his mind, heart and soul. He really paints a picture of his own shortcomings, trails and tribulations while also making you aware of your own

That song was the first time i felt seen and understood on a personal deep level.

This is the most wholesome video I've seen in a while. I found that song recently while I was trying out some new things in my discography (I just found out abt Kendrick) and I'm starting to listen to albums from top to bottom in a 1 sit. This song absolutely destroyed me, I had to take a break from it (I did not finish TPAB just yet) and I keep listening to this track over and over. It really impacted me. As a recommendation I would request that you two listen to the album good kid mad city but more specifically "M.a.a.d City, Swimming Pools, Sing About Me I'm Dying of Thrist" in a row. It tells a story and when you get to the last soul it really is soulbreaking. Best wishes for both of you.
