Songfacts®:

  • This short, nearly instrumental intro is the opening track of Man on the Moon III: The Chosen. The record is the final installment of Cudi's Man on the Moon trilogy of albums, following 2009's Man on the Moon: The End of Day and 2010's Man on the Moon II: The Legend of Mr. Rager (with four solo and two collaborative albums in between).
  • "Beautiful Trip" comprises instrumentation, backing vocals, and a sample of a voice counting down: "3,2,1." It interpolates sounds from "In My Dreams," the first track on Man on the Moon: The End of Day. The synths at the beginning are also the same as those on "Scott Mescudi vs. The World," the opening song of Man on the Moon II: The Legend of Mr. Rager.
  • When the 37-second song debuted at #100 on the Hot 100, it became the shortest track ever to reach the chart, beating the record held by Japanese comedian Piko-Taro's 45-second "PPAP (pen-pineapple-apple-pen)," which reached #77 on the Hot 100 in October 2016.

    The song held the record for shortest song to chart on the Hot 100 until April 2025, when Jack Black's 34-second long "Steve's Lava Chicken" debuted on the tally at #77.
