"Die Hard" is an R&B and pop song that contains a post-chorus that is sung by Amanda Reifer.[1] The song includes a "floating R&B instrumental and tender introspection".[2] Lamar raps:"I got some regrets".[3] It has a "gentle flute line and a blissful melody",which sees Blxst sing on the chorus:"I hope I'm not too late to set my demons straight".[4] In the two verses of the song,Kendrick Lamar uses two different moods as the song about how it is never too late to turn wrongs into rights and chasing dreams.[5] However,it can also be interpreted as a song directed to his wife,Whitney. With the lyrics,"Do you love me? Do you trust me? Can I trust you? Don't judge me",it can show that Kendrick may be fearful about opening up about the Big 'Truth' which was mentioned in previous songs in the album,which is referenced multiple times in Die Hard,especially with this line:"My truth too complicated to hide now",showing he might decide to open up,compared to his previous attitude towards this 'Truth'.
It samples vocals from Kadhja Bonet's "Remember the Rain".[6]
