808s & Heartbreak

Consequence said he "wrote the chorus", in a 2019 interview. Further confirmed by the fact he's credited for writing this song on the albums credits.

Track 2 on Consequence's mixtape, The Cons Vol. 5: Refuse To Die, also released as a single on June 19th, 2016, almost ten years after it originally came out.

The-Dream reference track for the song. Leaked via a unofficial mixtape entitled LoveTape: The Demo's.

Collab track between Kanye and Pharrell Williams, originating from the Child Rebel Soldier sessions, as confirmed by Kanye in a backstage video from the Glow In The Dark Tour posted by DJ Mike Love to Instagram January 26th, 2025, "I got a couple CRS joints though but [???]". Pharrell's verse originates from a freestyle on Rap City in 2006, and Kanye would perform his verse live at Hot 97 Summer Jam 2008, which is said by Designer to originate from an OG version of "Power" that has yet to leak. Original snippet from MusicMafia leaked in 2018, with the same snippet leaking tagless on December 2nd, 2024. Another snippet would be previewed in VC on Auger96's stream July 24th, 2025 during an attempted groupbuy for the song, before a tagged full version would ultimately forceleak July 26th, 2025 with the untagged leaking within the hour.

Kanye and Rhymefest made a pilot for a TV show called Alligator Boots. This was supposedly where Kim truly met Kanye for the first time.

The only public information we had for a while was a behind the scenes video for the pilot, until the pilot fully leaked years later.
