One Of Them

About this song

The song was first teased as the tour anthem on the trailer for G-Eazy's "When It's Dark Out" World Tour in November 2015, and the full single was released the next month. It marks his first collaboration with Big Sean, and it appears on Young Gerald's sophomore album. G-Eazy said Big Sean cut his verse and sent it straight back to him.

What it's about

The song plays on two meanings of the phrase "One of Them": seeing something he wants and wanting to be one of them, and not wanting to be an ordinary person. Its theme is the materialism that often comes with the pursuit of fame, and it shares a theme with his 2013 single "Almost Famous" about becoming addicted to that lifestyle.
