"About Damn Time" is a song by American singer and rapper Lizzo, released on April 14, 2022, by Nice Life Recordings and Atlantic Records as the lead single from her upcoming fourth studio album Special (2022). The song reached the top 5 in the United States and the top ten in Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, the United Kingdom.

Composition

The song's chorus features a piano motif interpolated from the 1984's tune "Hey DJ" by The World's Famous Supreme Team.[2] Billboard's Rania Aniftos said "About Damn Time" has a "feel-good" chorus.[3] Rachel Brodsky of Stereogum described the song as "a funk-pop cut with tons of instant-classic Lizzo-isms".[1] Similarly, Alex Gallagher of NME called the song "a funk-tinged, classically Lizzo cut that comes replete with a groove-heavy bassline, an instantly memorable flute melody and lyrical gems".[4]

Promotion

Lizzo previewed the song on The Late Late Show with James Corden in March 2022.[5] She first performed the song in full on Saturday Night Live on April 16, 2022, where she pulled double duty as both host and musical guest.[6]

Music video

The song's music video was directed by Christian Breslauer.[7][8]
