"Sucker for Pain" is a song by American rappers Lil Wayne and Wiz Khalifa and American pop rock band Imagine Dragons with fellow American rapper Logic and American singer Ty Dolla $ign featuring fellow American pop rock band X Ambassadors. The song was released as a single for the motion picture soundtrack for Suicide Squad (2016) on June 24, 2016, by Atlantic Records.[2] On the same day, the official music video was uploaded to Atlantic Records' YouTube channel.

Elias Leight of Rolling Stone called the song "loopy" and praised Lil Wayne's contribution to the song, saying "Wayne shines during his verse, delivering self-destructive rhymes while skipping nimbly around the plodding beat".[3] Carly Mallenbaum of USA Today felt that the song is "sexy".[4]

Commercial performance

In the United States, the song reached number 15 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and number 3 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs.

It also reached the top 20 overseas, peaking at number 11 on the UK singles chart, making it Lil Wayne's highest charting hit as a lead artist, although his highest charting UK top hit overall would later be a guest appearance on DJ Khaled's "I'm the One".

Even in Europe, the song hit the Western national musical markets, reaching the top five in Nordic and Eastern countries, including Finland, Norway and Poland, top ten in Austria, Russia, Germany, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Denmark and Sweden, top twenty in France, Switzerland, Italy and Ireland and top forty in the Netherlands, Belgium and Hungary.[5]
