About this song

The song is the latest to come from the Suicide Squad soundtrack and was premiered by Zane Lowe on his Beats 1 radio show on July 21. The music video is set to star Jared Leto, who plays the Joker in the film. The title and hook reference the Joker's car in the movie, which is actually a Vaydor G35 rather than a Lamborghini. The switch is a deliberate callback to the song "Mercy" from G.O.O.D. Music's compilation album Cruel Summer, where the hook repeatedly mentions "Lamborghini Mercy."

What it's about

The hook and title play on the idea of mercy, reversing the earlier "Lamborghini Mercy" line to revoke that mercy. The reversal suits a song and film about anti-heroes.
