"Mood" is a song by American singer 24kGoldn featuring fellow American rapper Iann Dior. It was released on July 24,2020,through Records and Columbia Records,as the lead single from 24kGoldn's debut studio album, El Dorado (2021). The pop rock,rap rock and hip hop song is built around a guitar riff inspired by indie rock and post grunge music and also features hi-hats and snare drums in the style of trap music. On the song,24kGoldn and Dior sing-rap about their toxic relationships in which their lovers are always in a "mood".
The song came about while the artists were playing Call of Duty together and producers Omer Fedi and KBeaZy were working on a beat,and 24kGoldn idly sang what would become the song's hook. After an early version of the song was completed,Blake Slatkin was soon brought on as a producer to make the song more pop-oriented. It became a commercial success after earning popularity on the video-sharing app TikTok and was certified quadruple platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). "Mood" peaked atop the Billboard Hot 100,where it spent eight non-consecutive weeks and also topped the charts in the United Kingdom,Australia,Ireland,Austria,Denmark,the Netherlands,Norway,and Sweden. It also reached number two on the Global 200. "Mood" was positively received by critics,who praised it as being catchy, [1] [2] and it was included on lists of the best songs of 2020 published by Slate , Billboard ,and The New York Times .
24kGoldn and Dior performed the song live at the 2020 MTV Europe Music Awards preshow,the American Music Awards of 2020,the season 19 finale of The Voice , Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve , Jimmy Kimmel Live! ,and The Ellen DeGeneres Show . A music video for "Mood",in which 24kGoldn and Dior have disputes with two separate girls,was released on August 5,2020,and directed by Sebastian Sdaigui. A remix of the song with Canadian singer-songwriter Justin Bieber and Colombian singer-songwriter J Balvin was released on November 6,2020.
"We made 'Mood' playing Call of Duty and drinking beer. We weren't in that thinking, like, 'All these notes have to be perfect together.' We were just chilling, and now it's one of the biggest songs in the world. 24kGoldn pulled up on me and my friend and I just were drinking Coronas."
According to 24kGoldn and Dior, they were playing Call of Duty while the song's producers, Fedi and KBeazy, were working on a beat, and as Fedi played a guitar riff, 24kGoldn idly began singing along with it. 24kGoldn then created a hook for the song while Dior performed a verse. [4] After an early version of the song was written and produced by the four, producer Blake Slatkin was brought in to give the track a "pop polish". [5]
24kGoldn teased a snippet of the song on his Instagram account before the song was officially released on July 24, 2020. [6] To promote "Mood", Columbia Records pitched the song to various pop and "Gen Z" playlists on popular music streaming services. 24kGoldn's team also pitched the song to pop radio stations, and it quickly found success on contemporary hit radio. Video-sharing platform TikTok was also used as part of the marketing strategy to promote "Mood", and the song went from being used in approximately 12,000 videos on the platform in mid-August to over two million by October. [6] [7] 24kGoldn also used his own money to fund marketing campaigns for the song and get promotions from social media influencers. [4]
"Mood" is an uptempo pop rock, hip hop [4] [8] and rap rock [1] song, described by several publications as "genre-bending". [6] [7] [9] This song is played in the key of G minor (in common time) with a tempo of 91 beats per minute, and 24kGoldn and Dior's vocals range from a low of F 3 to a high of G 4. [10] Its instrumental includes an indie [11] and post-grunge-influenced guitar riff played by Omer Fedi (which is warped and echoed at points throughout the song), [1] and "trap-style" hi-hats and snare drums. [1] [5]
In the song, 24kGoldn and Dior deliver "melodic croons" [12] about their girlfriends who are always in a "mood", [13] in a sing-song rapping style. [11] Described by Vicky Inoyo of Earmilk as a love-centered song that provides "a youthful feel with modern-day pop twists", the lyrics detail how it feels to be in a toxic relationship. [14] [13] Tom Breihan of Stereogum wrote, "the two rappers don't really rap. Instead, they mewl everything in a familiar nasal whine-bleat." Variety 's Charlie Amter wrote that the lyrics to the song's pre-chorus, "We play games of love to avoid the depression/We been here before/And I won't be your victim", are "morose", while Breihan described the pre-chorus as "a hymn to horny self-pity" and Slate 's Chris Molanphy called it "very emo" and "Gen Z". [15] [1] Billboard similarly remarked that the song is "emo-leaning". [16] HotNewHipHop's Alexander Cole called the track "perfect for summer", and said the song's title "certainly fits the vibe as we get a very summer-inspired beat". [13] Rolling Stone 's Ethan Millman called the beat of the song "bright" and "beachy" and the melody "carefree". [17]
For Billboard, Carl Lamarre stated that the song was a "feel-good record" and a "late-summer bop", describing the hook as "catchy", while Josh Glicksman of the same publication called the chorus "easily digestible" and "sonically light". [2] Another Billboard writer, Andrew Unterberger, remarked that the song's energy felt "impossibly fresh" and that it is a "visceral banger". [9] Chris Molanphy of Slate called the song "fiendishly catchy" and also praised the track's hook, opining that it was "one of the most instantly infectious rap-rock refrains ever". [1] In his review of El Dorado, Kyann-Sian Williams of NME wrote that "Mood" was "spritely" and "tacked on at the end [of El Dorado] to act as a smug victory lap in the face of doubters". [18] In another review of the album, Stereogum's Chris DeVille stated, "like hits from forebears like Juice WRLD, Post Malone, and Lil Uzi Vert, 'Mood' was self-evidently a pop song, infectiously catchy and irresistibly propulsive." DeVille added that the song "gracefully avoided" descending into the "unlistenable cheese" that the other pop-rock songs on the album did. [19] Joe Coscarelli of The New York Times called "Mood" a "melodic-rap confection". [20] KROQ-FM program director Mike Kaplan stated that "Mood" was "one of those first-listen records". [21]
Slate's Chris Molanphy named "Mood" as the 12th best single of 2020, while Billboard named it the eighth best song, the third best rock song, and the 12th best musical TikTok trend of the year. [9] [22] [23] [24] On Jon Caramanica's list of the best songs of 2020 in The New York Times , "Mood" was added as an honorable mention. [25] "Mood" was nominated for Best Collaboration at the 2021 iHeartRadio Music Awards. [26] The song was also nominated for Top Hot 100 Song, Top Collaboration, and Top Rap Song at the 2021 Billboard Music Awards. [27]

After ten weeks of climbing the chart, the song reached number one on the chart dated October 24, when it received 20.3 million streams, sold 7,000 downloads, and made 62.9 million radio impressions.

[29] It also topped Billboard's Hot Rock & Alternative Songs, Hot Alternative Songs, and Hot Rap Songs charts, making it the first song to simultaneously top all four charts, and went on to top the Hot 100 for eight non-consecutive weeks. [30] [7] It also tied with Drake's "Nice for What" with the most climbs to the top spot at four when it returned to number one for a seventh non-consecutive week on the week ending January 9, 2021. "Mood" logged a 30th week inside the Hot 100's top ten, being the 12th song to do so. [31]
