"Nah Nah Nah" is a song by American rapper Kanye West. It was released for digital download and streaming through GOOD Music and Def Jam Recordings on October 16, 2020. The song served as the theme song for West's presidential campaign launched in July of that year. Written and produced by West and American record producer Dem Jointz, the song's lyrics reference West's run for presidential candidate, his dispute with Universal Music Group, and opinions on the mainstream media.
West first teased "Nah Nah Nah" on Twitter two days before its release, via a video featuring clips from Joaquin Buckley's knockout victory at UFC Fight Island 5 and Star Wars. DJ Pharris debuted the song in full on his Power 92 Chicago show on October 16, and it was sent to music streaming services the same day. The song was inspired by fake presidential polling results from Kentucky, which falsely claimed that West was leading fellow candidates Donald Trump and Joe Biden in early returns.
"Nah Nah Nah" was met with mixed reviews upon its release, with both critics and West's fans responding negatively to its sound. A remix, featuring fellow rappers DaBaby and 2 Chainz, was released on November 13, 2020. The song was West's second and last single as a lead artist in 2020, following "Wash Us in the Blood", featuring American rapper Travis Scott. Both versions of the song were removed from streaming services in August 2021, which was speculated to be due to controversy over homophobic statements DaBaby made the previous month.
