About this song
"Carefree" is the leading single from Mick Jenkins' January 2020 album The Circus, and the album's announcement came with the song's release. The song was first previewed in November 2019 and followed Mick's promise of new music in 2020. The laid-back production is by Black Milk, who has previously worked with Mick twice on Pieces of a Man.
What it's about
The song portrays a pleasant summer night for Mick and his friends that is disrupted by aggressive police misconduct. It expresses his wish to live freely and enjoy leisure without being singled out by police because of the color of his skin.
