Lithe teams up with Cash Cobain for For What, the smooth-rolling single off his debut album Euphoria, hitting November 14, 2025, through his own wave label, and it creeps in like a blacked-out S-Class on a quiet highway, that “for what?” hook nagging at the thrill when you’ve stacked it all but still feel the pull of the edge.
Lithe’s always mixed that UK street pulse with melodic confessions that hit different after dark, and this track sharpens it with Cash’s NY grit. They linked in an LA session last summer, right after Lithe’s Lost In Euphoria EP dropped, trading verses over a beat from rising producer Yassir that layers hazy 808s with crisp hi-hats and auto-tuned drifts. It’s trap at its core, but leans into R&B sway—think flexes on Lambos and brick-by-brick wins clashing with raw doubts about trust, late-night lays, and if the ride-or-dies stick when you slip.
The themes unpack that hollow flex: you’ve got the wishlist crossed, eyes rolling back in the haze, but what’s the point if it all feels temporary? Cash jumps in on the third verse with that patient hunger, flipping the question back on loyalty and opps, making the whole thing a back-and-forth that sticks. The official video dropped October 30 on YouTube, racking views quick with neon-lit drives and those knowing glances, and Lithe hyped it on Instagram the next day with a simple “OUT NOW.”
For What anchors track eight on Euphoria’s 13-song run, right in the middle of Lithe’s tightrope walk between highs and crashes—from the intro’s numb escape to Don Toliver’s FaceTime collab adding stateside shine midway, all building to a close that questions the leverage. The album’s that euphoric blur: chasing the glow while the stakes climb, clocking about 30 minutes of no-skip vibes that map his come-up without the gloss.
Lithe’s owning this moment at 21, fresh off the EP cracking UK charts and those East London shows turning into full blocks, pulling in names like Toliver to bridge his sound across ponds. Euphoria’s him stepping out of the mixtape shadow, less about survival bars and more owning the quiet what-ifs that come with the wins, like he’s finally voicing the questions the streets don’t let you ask.

Lyrics of For What by Lithe & Cash Cobain
[Intro: Lithe]
Mm, Yeah, Since I Been—
Step, Check, Check, I’m On
[Verse 1: Lithe]
I Been Tried, I Been Tried
I Been Tested, God My Witness
Got The Lamb, Black It Out
Like I’m Bruce Wayne In This B**ch, Yeah
I Got Money, I Got Cars
I Been Crossing Off My Wishlist
I Been— (I Been—, I Been—), I Know, I Know
[Chorus: Lithe]
Baby, Now For—
Is You Up?
Shorty, Now Is You Up? (Say, Yeah)
I-I Been Down Since You Been Down
So Bae, Let’s F**k It Up Now (Bae, Let’s F**k It Up)
On My Way, Say None, Yeah (Mm)
Brand New Bentley Truck, Yeah (Say, Yeah)
I-I Been Down Since You Been Down, But Lately It’s—
Baby, Now For What?
[Verse 2: Lithe]
S 560, Black On Black, I Got This All (Baby, Now For What?)
And It’s Brick By Brick, By Brick, By Brick, I Know You Know, Mm
And The Coke Fiends Out In L.A. Hills, You Know, You Know (Baby, Now For What?)
And Her Eyes Roll Back On Nights Like This, You Know, You Know
[Pre-Chorus: Lithe]
If We Lay Up, Drunk F**k, If I Can’t Trust Myself
If I Played Up With You, Still Spend This Time With You
If I Fall In Too Deep, Would You Come And Pull Me Up?
Don’t Get Me Wrong, Get Me Wrong, Get Me Wrong (Mm)
[Chorus: Lithe]
Baby, Now For—
Is You Up?
Shorty, Now Is You Up? (Say, Yeah)
I-I Been Down Since You Been Down
So Bae, Let’s F**k It Up Now (Bae, Let’s F**k It Up)
On My Way, Say None, Yeah (Mm)
Brand New Bentley Truck, Yeah (Say, Yeah)
I-I Been Down Since You Been Down, But Lately It’s—
Baby, Now For What?
[Verse 3: Cash Cobain]
Yeah, Baby, Is You Down Or What?
I Pulled Up In A Lamb Chop Spider
I Can’t Call Your Friends In A Black Truck
I Been Holding It Down For The Town So Long That It’s Just Not Enough
I Been Hoping And Praying And Patiently Waiting On You Just To Let Me F**k
I Been Flexing On Niggas, For What?
I Ain’t Checking On Niggas, For What?
If I Was To Slip And Be Down On My D**k, Would You Check For A Nigga?
I’m The Man If I Flex Off My Riches, So What?
All The Opp Niggas Knowing Wassup
All These Thot B**ches Gon’ Let Me F**k
I’m Outside Every Day, I Don’t Tuck
[Chorus: Lithe]
Baby, Now For—
Is You Up?
Shorty, Now Is You Up? (Say, Yeah)
I-I Been Down Since You Been Down
So Bae, Let’s F**k It Up Now (Bae, Let’s F**k It Up)
On My Way, Say None, Yeah (Mm)
Brand New Bentley Truck, Yeah (Say, Yeah)
I-I Been Down Since You Been Down, But Lately It’s—
Baby, Now For What?
[Outro: Lithe]
Baby, Now For What?
Bae, Let’s F**k It Up Now
Yeah
