Habits (Eminem song)

"Habits" is a song by American rapper Eminem from his twelfth studio album The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce) (2024).

Over a beat with piano,[1] the song revolves around Eminem battling the negative influence of his alter ego Slim Shady, referring to his impulses to treat dark and serious matters with humor in his lyrical content.

[1] In addition, Eminem declares himself as "mom-shaming, dad-shaming, fat-shaming, mansplaining"[4] and says that critics are "mad because they can't tame me".

Robin Murray of Clash wrote, "'Habits' deals with addiction, but it's all surface level; after a sombre opening it then switches into full Shady mode, taking down 'cry babies' and even – oddly – 'gingers'.

"[6] Merlin Alderslade of Louder praised the production, stating it "create[s] a fraught and brooding atmosphere for Eminem to spit his frenetic bars over".
