"Canceled" is a song by American YouTuber Larray. It was released on October 18, 2020. The song is a comedic diss track aimed at various social media stars.

Background and composition[]

The majority of the song is backed by a pitch-shifted sample from American rapper Tay-K's "The Race".[1] The song serves as a diss track to many of those mentioned in the song,[2] including Shane Dawson, Tana Mongeau, and the Dolan Twins.[3][4]

Music video[]

The music video was released on the same day as the song. It was directed and edited by JakeTheShooter and Larray.[5]

Controversy[]

Roughly a week after the release, Larray addressed backlash he received from the track on TikTok about supposedly "normalizing child grooming",[6] stating:

In the video, I made some jokes and I stated some facts, and there's a huge difference between the two ... I find it ironic that I'm being called out for the Tony Lopez situation, which wasn't a joke, when the entire TikTok community was doing the same thing.[7]

Chart performance[]

The song reached number 81 on the Billboard Hot 100, making it Larray's first entry on the chart.[8] It also charted at number 34 on the magazine's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart and at 96 on the Canadian Hot 100.
