Squabble Up
Updated: 12/11/2025, 5:24:59 PM Wikipedia source
"Squabble Up" (stylized in all lowercase) is a song by the American rapper Kendrick Lamar from his sixth studio album, GNX (2024). It was released alongside "TV Off" by PGLang and Interscope Records on November 26, 2024, as the first singles from the album. Lamar wrote "Squabble Up"; he produced the song with Sounwave, Jack Antonoff, and Ruchaun "Scott Bridgeway" Akers, with additional production by Matthew "M-Tech" Bernard. The track went viral on TikTok after being featured in promotional material for Mercedes AMG's Formula One campaign and during an NBA broadcast. "Squabble Up" samples Debbie Deb's 1984 freestyle song "When I Hear Music". Music critics generally praised "Squabble Up" for its layered production and homage to various musical styles. The single became Lamar's fifth number-one song on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart. It peaked at number three on the Billboard Global 200 chart and was a top-five hit in Canada, Ireland, Latvia, New Zealand, South Africa, and the UK. An accompanying music video for "Squabble Up" was released on November 25, 2024. Lamar performed the song live at the Super Bowl LIX halftime show on February 9, 2025.
