"Prblms" (a disemvoweling of "problems" and stylized in all caps) is a single by American singer 6lack. It was released on September 23, 2016, by LoveRenaissance and Interscope Records.[1] The track was produced by NOVA.[2] The song was certified 3× Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) in December 2020.
6lack originally released "Prblms" onto SoundCloud on April 14, 2016.[3] His manager connected with Apple Music's R&B curator, and eventually the song appeared on 10 playlists through the service.[3] In June, media personality Kylie Jenner lip-synced to the song during one of her Snapchat videos, which boosted the popularity of it.[4] 6lack said Jenner's shout-out was a great experience, and it showed him that he was "doing something right."[5] The song was later re-released officially in September of that year.[5]
Lyrically, the song is about a failing relationship.[6] 6lack wrote the song after having a fight with the woman he was seeing at the time; one of the lines from the song is a text that he received from her the night he was writing the song.[5]
The music video for "Prblms" was released on October 14, 2016, on 6lack's Vevo account.[7]
