"Need It" is a song by American hip hop trio Migos featuring American rapper YoungBoy Never Broke Again. It was released on May 22, 2020,[1] as the lead single from Migos' fourth studio album Culture III. Produced by Buddah Bless, the song samples "Get In My Car" by 50 Cent.[2]

Background and composition

The song was previewed in January 2020, when a video of Offset and NBA YoungBoy recording it was surfaced online. Migos seemingly hinted at its release hours before it arrived.[3] On the track, the trio and YoungBoy talk about their intoxicating and violent lifestyles and how they will protect themselves.[4]

Music video

Part of the music video parodies the 1996 film Don't Be a Menace, with Offset in the role of Loc Dog.[5]
