Every year, TIME puts out their list of 100 most influential people in the world. This year, both Kim Kardashian and Kanye West Made the list. At the party, held Tuesday, April 21, Kanye Performed.
Kanye played a 20-minute set that included “All Day,” “Black Skinhead,” “New Slaves,” “Blood on the Leaves,” “Runaway,” “Only One,” “Good Life,” “Gold Digger” and “Touch the Sky.”
Kanye West hit the awards show’s stage for the first time in six years to perform “Only One.” The song is a tribute to both his late mother and his daughter with Kim Kardashian, North West.
Kanye West’s new song “Only One” is an emotional ballad that will undoubtedly make you have all the feels. The song is featured in his late mother Donda’s perspective, who tragically passed away in 2007. In the song, she wants Kanye to tell North West about her and to know she’s always with him. The song is beyond special. To top it all off, the song also features legendary singer Paul McCartney!
This is Kanye’s first new song since his Yeezus album in 2013 and “Only One” is the rapper’s most vulnerable song to date.
The death of his mother Donda hit him extremely hard, and now Kanye is paying tribute to his beloved parent in the best way he knows how — through song.
Kanye sings about his two angels — Kim and North — and lets Donda speak through him. In the song, she is so “proud” of him and he will always be her “chosen one.” She knows they’ll meet again someday.
Good Music. Good Life.
