"Supposed to Be Loved" is a song by American musician DJ Khaled and American rappers Lil Baby and Future featuring fellow American rapper Lil Uzi Vert. It was released through We the Best Music and Def Jam Recordings as the lead single from the former's upcoming fourteenth studio album, Til Next Time, on August 11, 2023, his first song released through the latter label.

Produced by Khaled himself and TM88, the song was written by the two alongside its lead performers. As it samples "P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing)" by Michael Jackson, Quincy Jones and James Ingram are credited as songwriters from interpolation. Khaled announced the single and album the day before the release of the single.[1] Hints at a collaboration between Khaled and Lil Uzi Vert were given as they were spotted in a recording studio together the previous month.[2]

Composition and lyrics[edit]

"Supposed to Be Loved" is an upbeat trap song that contains samples of the single "P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing)" by Michael Jackson from his sixth studio album, Thriller (1982).[3] It sees Lil Baby, Future, and Lil Uzi Vert rapping about adoring their significant others in the way they feel they should, with a catchy chorus from the former.[4][5]

Despite featuring explicit lyrics, it is not officially marked as such, even getting nominated for "Favorite Music Collaboration" at the 2024 Kids' Choice Awards in the process.
