U2 recruited Kendrick Lamar for a spoken word cameo on their exuberant new song “Get Out of Your Own Way,” the latest preview of their upcoming 14th LP, Songs of Experience.
The track opens with Bono crooning over a quiet electronic pulse and bass before building to an arena-size chorus that recalls the melodic surge of their 2000 hit “Beautiful Day.” Bono chronicles an ambiguous eternal struggle on the track, belting, “I could sing it to ya all night, all night/ If I could, I’d make it alright/ Nothing’s stopping you except what’s inside/ I can help you, but it’s your fight, your fight.”
Lamar, who previously recruited U2 for a cameo on his DAMN. track “XXX.,” appears in the song’s final section, delivering a brief monologue over the Edge’s rippling guitar.
