Songfacts®:

• "Née-Nah" is a bouncy hip-hop collaboration where 21 Savage and Travis Scott throw down some serious hip-hop vibes. It's all about flexing and dark humor, mixed with casual nods to violence. The high-energy track is from 21 Savage's third studio album, American Dream.
• Travis Scott kicks things off with a slick and raspy verse, dropping wordplay about sports and sex. He throws in a shoutout to legendary singer Nina Simone, giving the track its name.
  
  Then 21 Savage takes the mic, spitting brutal bars about murder, guns, and women. It's savage indeed, no holds barred.
• Metro Boomin's got the beat covered. 21 Savage's production partner from their Savage Mode series lays down an aggressive drum pattern and booming bass that hits hard. Metro Boomin cooks up the fire for three other American Dream tracks. He mixes it up with Young Thug on "Pop Ur S--t," Lil Durk on "Dangerous" and Burna Boy on "Just like Me."
• "Née-Nah" incorporates a Bessie Smith sample. It is taken from Malcolm McLaren's track "About Her," which samples the legendary blues artist. He created it for Quentin Tarentino's Kill Bill film series.
