Songfacts®:

  • "Breathe" is Yeat's rage-rap banger straight outta Portland. It's all about his hunger for success, aiming for that trillionaire status. He couldn't care less about what haters gotta say – he's just out there to hustle, make it big, and prove them all wrong. Yeat's spitting confidence and shouting out his unstoppable grind - no brakes, no giving up. He's on a mission, and "Breathe" is the anthem of his unapologetic ambition.
  • The song begins with a clip from the animated sitcom Regular Show season 3, episode 6, "Slam Dunk."
  • Dutch producers Bart How and Star Boy created the beat.

    Bart van Hoewijk, better known as Bart How, has also worked with Trippie Redd ("Space Time"), Ken Carson ("Fighting My Demons") and Kankan ("Fent"),

    Anton "Star Boy" Mendo's resumé includes placements with Playboi Carti ("Meh"), Lil Uzi Vert ("Futsal Shuffle 2020," "I'm Sorry"), and DaBaby ("Bop").
  • 2093 is a 24-track album that discusses the idea of success while weaving a tale of the CEO of AfterLyfe Corporation. He's on the edge, losing grip on reality as his wealth skyrockets from industry exploitation. Yeat places the company and all the events smack dab in 2093. The Portland rapper suggests that thanks to the rapid evolution of technology, the world has twisted into a bizarre, dystopian dream.
  • 2093 debuted at #2 on the US Billboard 200 chart, earning 70,000 album-equivalent units. It narrowly failed to become Yeat's first chart-topper, with just 5,000 fewer units than the week's #1 album, Kanye West and Ty Dolla Sign's Vultures 1.
