Ty Dolla $ign’s biggest, best single was one of many hits in the early half of the decade to flaunt producer DJ Mustard’s minimalist touch, realigning R&B with house music. Still, “Paranoid” stands out, its spacious snap-and-pop production setting the stage for our narrator to hit the club only to encounter two girls he’s seeing, both of whom are wearing matching heels and “the same damn fragrance.” Ty wonders if it’s some sort of set-up or if it’s all just in his head. This internal debate is punctuated by his own quivering backing vocals, a Greek chorus commenting on a twisted spin through modern romance. –Jordan Sargent

“Paranoid”作为Ty Dolla $ign成绩最好、最优秀的单曲，它由DJ Mustard在15年之前制作的众多热单之一，和其他热单一样，它彰显了DJ Mustard本人的极简风格，用浩室音乐来重塑R&B。但 “Paranoid”仍然是最亮眼的，开阔的、炸裂般的制作为歌中的主角前去夜店创造了绝佳的氛围，他想去搭讪他刚看到的两位姑娘，她们穿着相配的高跟鞋、有着“一模一样的香水味”。Ty想知道这一切究竟是给他设下的局，还是说只是他想多了。这份内心中的纠结被他自己颤抖的背景和声不时打断，就像是古希腊合唱团在对这份现代爱情中的扭曲情景发表评论（译者注：古希腊的戏剧中常有合唱来对情节发表评论）。
