By Dani Reyes, November 13, 2026

2 Chainz's "Situation," featuring Big Sean, Erykah Badu, and Aasher Saintt, is out November 13, 2026, on Million Dollar Habits and EMPIRE. The song runs 2:38.

The credits

"Situation" is track 8 on Playaz Only Live Once, 2 Chainz's 18-song album, which Apple lists for December 4, 2026, also on Million Dollar Habits and EMPIRE.

On that album page, three other songs already appear by title. "A Week In Paris" is track 7, immediately ahead of "Situation," and came out October 30, 2026. "Reign" is track 4 and came out September 4, 2026. "Pops" closes the album as track 18 and came out April 3, 2026. Those three, with "Situation," are the four titled songs already out from the album, ahead of the December 4 date. The other fourteen tracks are still untitled on the album page.

2 Chainz and Big Sean already appear together on "Mercy", Kanye West's 2012 single, which is also on the 2012 compilation Kanye West Presents Good Music Cruel Summer.

The featured line includes Erykah Badu, and KAZI's November 10 piece on Badu's IMEHO Europe dates covers her January 2027 shows in Milan, Paris, Sofia, and Katowice.

My read

Erykah Badu, born 1971, and Aasher Saintt, a 24-year-old, share one featured line, with Big Sean between them. That spread of more than 25 years is the credit I keep returning to. To me it says 2 Chainz wants Playaz Only Live Once heard as more than a reunion with an old "Mercy" partner, and putting that lineup on a single before December 4 is how he gets that pitch out early.
