"Good Loyal Thots"[a] is the debut single written, produced, and performed by American rapper and singer Odetari. The song was released on March 15, 2023, by Artist Partner Group. The song was released as the lead single from Odetari's 2023 EP XIII Sorrows.[2][3]

Background

[edit]

In an interview with Variety, Odetari stated that he made the song because he was heartbroken, saying:

"As much as it seems like a playboy song, it's really a heartbreak song. I made it because I was heartbroken, and I'm trying to boost myself up by acting like I'm not a lover boy, like 'I don't care about you and I got all these girls and fuck you.' But it's really the opposite."[4]

The song was originally released on March 15, 2023, through Odetari Records.[5] After Odetari signed to Artist Partner Group, the song was later re-released on May 18, 2023.[6][b]
