Now would be the time to go ahead and give up on humanity, people.
Kanye released the track last Thursday on Twitter, tweeting the above image and a caption: “ONLY ONE ft. Paul McCartney http://kanyewest.com http://smarturl.it/Only1 photo @inezandvinoodh.”
The song is an ode to Yeezus’ daughter with Kim Kardashian, North, and features McCartney on the keyboard, while West takes the vocals.
