G Herbo fires off a moment of introspection with “Thank Me,” a standout cut from his forthcoming album Lil Herb, and the addition of Anderson .Paak brings a smooth yet soulful counterpoint to Herbo’s sharp-edged reflections. Right from the first beat, the track lets you feel the tension of the grind and the quiet pride of surviving it.
On “Thank Me,” the theme is simple but powerful: you’ve done the work, you’ve endured the nights, now it’s time to receive your dues, even if the world’s sleepwalking past your hustle. Musically, the beat leans into warm keys and rolling percussion, a subtle shift from Herbo’s harder drill roots into a space where vulnerability and victory sit side by side. Anderson .Paak’s voice adds that layered emotional heft, giving the track a soul-infused lift that gently balances Herbo’s rawness.
This song comes as part of Lil Herb, scheduled for release on November 7, 2025 via Machine Entertainment Group through Machine Entertainment Group, Republic Records, and Universal Music Group. The album clocks in at 15 tracks, each one part of what feels like a full-circle moment for G Herbo—reconnecting with his beginnings while showing how far he’s come.
For G Herbo, this is more than just another project: after albums like PTSD and 25, which wrestled with trauma and growth, Lil Herb signals a return to the essence of his name—remembering “Herb” the kid, the come-up, the nights in Chicago that forged the man now standing at the threshold of his craft. The feature from Anderson .Paak also suggests Herbo’s willingness to explore his sound further, embracing melody and deeper textures without losing that street-steel authenticity.
“Thank Me” offers an invitation: sit with him in this moment of reckoning. Whether you’ve followed him since the early days or you’re just stepping into his world, this track sets the tone for an album rooted in survival, success, and the scars between.

I Ain’t Never Gotta Go Back No More (No)
I Ain’t Never, Ever Goin’ Back No More (No)

I Ain’t Never Gotta Go Back No More
I Ain’t Never, Ever Goin’ Back No More (Nope)
