"TGIF" is a song by American rapper GloRilla from her debut studio album, Glorious (2024). It was released on June 21, 2024 via Collective Music Group and Interscope Records as the lead single from the album. It was produced by Zenjikozen, Jess Jackson and Dillon Brophy.
On May 17, 2024, GloRilla previewed the song on social media, through a snippet of her with friends during a tour stop. [1] The song immediately became a viral sensation, with the lyrics "It's 7 PM Friday / It's ninety-five degrees / I ain't got no nigga and no nigga ain't got me" being widely used in dance videos on TikTok. [1] [2] [3] GloRilla also started performing the song during her opening act at fellow rapper Megan Thee Stallion's Hot Girl Summer Tour. [3] [4] Barbadian singer and business woman Rihanna posted a video rapping to this song to her partner A$AP Rocky, going viral on all social media platforms.
The song contains trap production, [5] over which GloRilla boasts her success, referencing the high attendance during her concerts [4] and telling her haters to "kiss my ass". [4] [6] [7] She also raps about spending time with her female friends [6] and having sexual relationships with others' boyfriends. [8]
Robin Murray of Clash wrote of the song, "The beat is hard, the production is crisp, but really it's just an excuse to witness GloRilla do her thing." [7] Armon Sadler of Vibe wrote "'TGIF' oozes confidence and composure. Her delivery is passionate, but the production isn't overwhelming. It doubles as a song people can turn up to, but also as cinematic music that one would hear when a crew walks into a venue." [8] Rodney Carmichael of NPR wrote that the song "might certify GloRilla as the hardest voice in hip-hop". [9]
TIME Magazine has ranked “TGIF” as the #1 best song of 2024.
