About “Saint Pablo”

“Saint Pablo” addresses Kanye’s deepest thoughts and insecurities, namely the $53 million dollars of debt he mentioned before the release of The Life Of Pablo, Twitter controversies, and media speculation over his mental health.

The song premiered on February 23rd during Yo Gotti’s The Art of Hustle listening party at L.A.’s 1OAK a week after the release of The Life Of Pablo.

The song leaked online on March 31, 2016, and temporarily appeared on Apple Music further fueling the idea the song would get a full release.

It was officially added to The Life of Pablo as track 20 on June 15th, 2016, the same day Kanye announced the Saint Pablo Tour.

Producer Mike Dean confirmed that he produced the track along with Kanye on the KanyeToThe.com forum. Hip-hop fans will recognize the distinctive metallic clang sound sampled from Jay Z’s 1997 ”Where I’m From.“
