For the second straight year, the 38-year-old rapper shared a new single on New Year's Eve. Referencing recent headlines, the lyrics mention Bill Cosby and Steve Harvey's Miss Universe mishap, said The Hollywood Reporter.
West references his 2015 VMAs election bid ('2020 Imma run the whole election'), his sneaker success ('I ain't dropped an album but those shoes went platinum'), Odell Beckham, Jr and LeBron James. The hook ('Yeezy, Yeezy, Yeezy just jumped over Jumpman') references Future and Drake's hit "Jumpman."
"Facts" was produced by Metro Boomin and Southside.
Last year, West shared "Only One" just before 2014 turned into 2015.
