Canceled (song)

"Canceled" is a song by American YouTuber Larray. It was released on October 18, 2020. The song is a comedic diss track aimed at various social media stars. The song was produced by Taz Taylor, Pharaoh Vice, and S.Diesel.

Background and composition
The majority of the song is backed by a pitch-shifted sample from American rapper Tay-K's "The Race". The song serves as a diss track to many of those mentioned in the song, including Shane Dawson, Tana Mongeau, and the Dolan Twins.

Music video
The music video was released on the same day as the song. It was directed and edited by JakeTheShooter and Larray.

Controversy
Roughly a week after the release, Larray addressed backlash he received from the track on TikTok about supposedly "normalizing child grooming", stating: "In the video, I made some jokes and I stated some facts, and there's a huge difference between the two... I find it ironic that I'm being called out for the Tony Lopez situation, which wasn't a joke, when the entire TikTok community was doing the same thing."

Chart performance
The song reached number 81 on the Billboard Hot 100, making it Larray's first entry on the chart. It also charted at number 34 on the magazine's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart and at 96 on the Canadian Hot 100.

2023 remix
On May 31, 2023, Larray released a remix featuring American rapper Twaimz, as well as an accompanying music video. The remix contains a completely different set of lyrics, dissing different people than the original, most notably Dream, GeorgeNotFound, and TommyInnit, whom both Larray and Twaimz allege to each be homosexual. Kelon Campbell makes an appearance at the end of the video as his internet persona Terri Joe.
