"Wheels Fall Off" is a song by Ty Dolla $ign that was released as a single on February 7, 2025. The song features vocals from Kanye West and additional vocals from King Combs and the Hooligans. It is expected to release on Ty Dolla $ign's upcoming album, Tycoon.
Production[]
The original version of the song mainly samples Diddy's 1998 song, "Victory".[1] The song runs at a tempo of 104 BPM and has a key of E Major.
Background[]
The song was first previewed by Ye during the Grammy's afterparty on February 3, 2025, though he cut it before his verse was played.[2] On February 6, the song was played in full when Ye and Ty were seemingly filming a music video for the song.[3] Later that day, it was previewed on Power 106 with the Hooligans' (possibly AI) vocals, the Diddy sample, and the spoken outro from King Combs.[4] The next day, two versions of the song were released on the Yeezy website; the first is the longer version, while the second version is censored and removes the Diddy sample and the King Combs outro. Also on the 7th, Ty posted the recording process of the song on his TikTok.[5] The shortened version was later officially released on streaming services on February 8.
Lyrics[]
[Intro: Diddy & The Notorious B.I.G.]
We are the youth
Yo, the sun don't shine forever (You can turn the track up a little bit for me)
But as long as it's here, then we might as well shine together (All up in my ears)
Better now than never, business before pleasure (The mic is loud, but the beats isn't loud)
P. Diddy and the fam', who you know do it better?
Yeah right, no matter what, we airtight (Yeah)
So when you hear somethin', make sure you hear it right
Don't make a ass outta yourself (Yeah), by assumin' (Now the mic is lower, turn the mics up)
Our music keeps you movin', what are you doin'? (Turn that shit all the way up, yeah)
You know that I'm two levels above you, baby (Music's gettin' louder)
Hug me, baby, I'ma make you love me, baby (I want this shit is hot)
Talkin' crazy ain't gonna get you nuthin' but choked (Uh-huh)
And that jealousy is only gonna leave you broke (Uh-huh, uh-huh)
So the only thing left now is God for these cats
And B.I.G. you know you too hard for these cats
I'ma win 'cause I'm too smart for these cats
While they makin' up facts (Uh) you rakin' up plaques

Trivia[]
- This is the first non-AI verse Kanye has released since August 2024.
- Though Kanye's verse features no AI, for some reason the backing Hooligan vocals on the chorus are AI.
