Co-produced by Allen Ritter and David X Eli, it peaked at number 8 on the Billboard Hot 100.
"Superhero (Heroes & Villains)" is a trap song that features "pummeling 808s and muted horns" in the production, over which Future raps in his "customary, chant-like flow",[1] and style similar to "the days of DS2"[2] In the latter portion, the instrumental "fades into somber synths", for "distorted melodies" from Chris Brown,[1] who sings about people who do not want to see him succeed.
[3] The song also contains a sample of rapper Jay-Z's line about living "long enough to see yourself become a villain" in "So Appalled" by Kanye West (which is a reference to Harvey Dent's quote in the film The Dark Knight).
"[1] Brady Brickner-Wood of Pitchfork wrote, “Even Future's got a little pep in his step here, particularly on the anthemic 'Superheroes (Heroes & Villains)'”.
[3] HipHopDX defined it "another hit that traces back to 808s wizardry, it transitions from protracted horns to whimsically processed synthesizer notes toward the end as Chris Brown steps in for a brief yet memorable outro".
