Mercy was released in 2012 as a single from the GOOD Music compilation Cruel Summer, performed by Kanye West with Big Sean, Pusha T and 2 Chainz. Its Lamborghini Mercy hook became one of the most quoted lines of that era, helped by its stripped-back trap production and repeated car references. The line soon moved beyond the song itself, becoming shorthand in car culture, memes and short-form edits for wealth, speed and confidence. Years later, the short chorus still works because listeners recognise it instantly, even without hearing the full track.
