Flu Game (song)

"Flu Game" is a song recorded by American rapper Lil Mosey, released as a single on March 17, 2023. The song was produced by Royce David, who has also produced most of his other songs. This is also his first song of 2023.

Composition
The song serves as Lil Mosey's first single of 2023 and Mosey said that he named the song "Flu Game" because of American former basketball player Michael Jordan when in 1997, Jordan had a remarkable performance in Game 5 of the 1997 NBA Finals, but he suffered flu-like symptoms while playing. In the song, it starts out with the first verse, where Mosey mentions one of his close friends taking drugs like percocet, which made his friend tired. Also in the first verse, Mosey references his financial success with phrases like "Helicopter Money", and being called "flyer" while indicating that he is focusing on his career and aspirations. In the chorus, Mosey reinforces his desire to succeed by comparing himself to Jordan, known for his skill and tenacity, who also wants to achieve greatness for others when they need support, loyalty and dependability. In the second verse, Mosey acknowledges the presence of people who enjoy seeing others fail, but he remains resilient vowing not to go back to previous struggles and he also tries maintaining his strength in the face of adversity.
