Song by Chance the Rapper featuring Childish Gambino
"Favorite Song" is a song by American rapper Chance the Rapper from his second mixtape "Acid Rap" (2013). It features American rapper Childish Gambino and was produced by Chance himself and Nate Fox.
Composition.
The song contains a sample of "Clean Up Woman" by Betty Wright, described as "tropical guitar samples". Fred Thomas of "AllMusic" described the instrumental as "happily melodic".
The second verse of the song uses a staccato rhythm and internal rhyme scheme that is also used in the song "I Am the Very Model of a Modern Major-General" from Gilbert and Sullivan's 1879 opera "The Pirates of Penzance" and the poem "Song of Eärendil" from "The Lord of the Rings" series. This was noted by Stephen Colbert in a video of "Rolling Stone"'s "Song Breakdown" series.
Critical reception.
In a review of "Acid Rap", Maya Kalev of Fact praised the humor in the song, also describing Chance the Rapper as "good to a fault, putting his guests to shame" and that "Childish Gambino brings exactly nothing to the table".
