“Just enjoy it and have fun — and just know that the struggle is real and changes shape, but just to keep pushing forward,” Thundercat said in a statement about what he wants listeners to take away from the project.

Featuring additional production from FlyLo, lead single “I Did This to Myself” is a psychedelic tune, which finds Thundercat in his groovy element. He’s joined by Lil Yachty as the two pine for the attention of a beautiful woman who doesn’t have time for them.

Distracted also includes last year’s “I Wish I Didn’t Waste Your Time” and his 2023 Tame Impala collab “No More Lies.”
