Background and composition

[edit]

In November 2023, Kanye West and Ty Dolla Sign delivered a surprise performance of their single "Vultures" with fellows rapper Bump J and Lil Durk at a Dubai nightclub while Chris Brown was present.[1] On February 1, 2024, the duo shared a track list for the album that included a feature from Brown.[2] West and Brown had previously collaborated on various tracks, including "Down" in 2007 and "Waves" in 2016.[1] For Vultures 1, Brown contributed vocals to "Beg Forgiveness".[3] After skier Mike Petkov became lost during a February 2024 trip to Kirkwood, California, he recited lyrics from the song to maintain hope as he waited to be rescued.[4]

In the lyrics of the song, West raps about his hopes for his children to live special lives. He mentions his own mortality, expressing fulfillment with his accomplishments if he was to pass away. Ty Dolla Sign belts at the end of the song: "Say you wanna make amends before I go / Now you wanna put your heart on the line."[3]
