ROBIN WILLIAM$

ROBIN WILLIAM$ is a 2020 single by UGK David off of his album $EX $ELLS, released on SoundCloud in June and on all streaming platforms in October.

Taking the matter of the celebrity it borrows it's name from, David created the track to discuss depression, especially after his own recent suicide.

Conception
David had previously made tracks related to depression for, such as "Self Care". He wanted to make an upbeat one with serious hitting words to try and make a "radio-hit-esque" song that would draw in an audience but make them take the issue more seriously.

Reception
The track was met with acclaim from the online community. It received UGK David a competing spot in Coast 2 Coast 2021 and also saw him become a Next Level DJ, with an article mentioning the song attached to his joining. It is one of his most popular songs. It and "Self Care" are the two songs with depression as the topic in his album "$EX $ELLS", and the latter is seated halfway through the album and the former, this song, takes spot as last song of the album. The placement was met with positive feedback due to it feeling as if a "natural cycle of depression haunted the album, which was filled with ups through forms of braggadocio and uptempo anthems, just to be met with these depression songs" - Clarke Accloades.
