"Triggered (Freestyle)" is a song by American singer Jhené Aiko, released as a single on May 8, 2019, through Def Jam Recordings.[1] Written by Aiko, Ross James. Maclean Robinson, Brian K. Warfield and Julian-Quán Việt Lê. The song is a freestyle rap about Aiko's conflicted feelings following a breakup, in which she sings: "Knew from the beginning, you'd ruin everything you do it every time, you are my enemy, you are no friend of mine."[2] The song was interpreted as a diss track towards Aiko's ex-boyfriend Big Sean, with whom she formed the duo Twenty88, although she denied this, saying: "triggered is NOT a diss song. it is a moment of talking shit out of frustration and passion."[3]
The song debuted at number 51 on the Billboard Hot 100 a week after its release, spending four weeks on the chart altogether.[4] The song was also ranked at number 1 in Associated Press's 10 Best Songs of 2019 year-end list.
