About “Cold”

Originally known as “Theraflu”, Kanye – after complaints from the cough syrup company that makes Theraflu – decided to change the title of this collabo with DJ Khaled to “Way Too Cold” before changing it again to simply “Cold.” It was produced by Hit-Boy.

The rumor that Kanye was forced to change the title by the makers of Theraflu appears to be false. The artwork was designed by George Condo, who worked with Kanye on My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.

This song is the 4th collaboration between Kanye and Khaled. They previously collaborated on “Grammy Family”, “Go Hard” and “I Wish You Would”, the latter of which Cold was coupled with in the music video.
