"Why" is a song by American rapper NF, released on June 18, 2018, as the lead single from his fourth studio album The Search (2019). It was written and produced by NF himself, Tommee Profitt, and Saint X of Capital Kings.
The song has been described as similar in style to rapper Hopsin's "Ill Mind" saga, particularly due to its use of "dark, carnival-esque instrumental and the emotional yet violently charged lyrical nature." It finds NF pondering difficult questions, beginning with "what's your definition of success?"[1] He reflects on how he has been questioning his talents since his "Let You Down" was certified triple platinum,[2] as well as his insecurities and feelings of angst.[1] In the end, he admits people do not know him well.[2]
