"Tragic" (stylised as "TRAGIC") is a song by Australian rapper and singer the Kid Laroi featuring American rapper YoungBoy Never Broke Again and American music collective Internet Money, released on 6 November 2020 as the third track from the Savage edition of the former's debut mixtape F*ck Love.

Composition

"Tragic" is a "sparse soundtrack of looping snares and high piano keys" which's "beat is off-set and drops in and out of the mix." The song is "carefully arranged so as not to interrupt or distract from each of the vocal deliveries."[1] It's noted that the song is the Kid Laroi's "autobiographical account of how he has made something of himself" and that "he's not so much angry as hurting."[1]

Music video

The accompanying Steve Cannon-directed music video was released on 28 December 2020.[2] Heran Mamo from Billboard compares the Kid Laroi in the video to a modern Robin Hood who steals to give back to his less fortunate family.[2] At the time of the video's release, YoungBoy was incarcerated regarding firearms charges.[3]
