Mercy was released in 2012 as the lead single from the GOOD Music compilation Cruel Summer, featuring Kanye West, Big Sean, Pusha T and 2 Chainz. Its Lamborghini Mercy hook became the most quoted part of the track, repeated in car culture posts and hip hop edits for years afterwards. As short form video grew, creators lifted the hook as a standalone meme sound for luxury reveals and ironic flexes, with soundboard versions adding extra effects to heighten the drop.
