About this song
"Soundtrack 2 My Life" is the second track on Kid Cudi's debut album Man on the Moon: The End of Day, released in 2009. Cudi described it as the perfect opener for the album, setting the flow and previewing the themes the rest of the record explores. The song is seen as an early example of emo rap, as few rappers at the time wrote so personally about depression and anxiety.
What it's about
Across three rap verses, Cudi offers a personal account of his childhood, including the death of his father and the sadness, loneliness and depression that followed. He says he is choosing to open up about these hidden struggles and use his music to show his inner self.
