With a broad range of standout tunes from Tupac to 100 Gecs’ Laura Les, Euphoria has made quite a splash musically — and Kid Cudi wants in. The “Want It Bad” rapper tweeted at Zendaya and Labrinth on Monday (Feb. 28) to say he wants to be featured on a remix of their track “I’m Tired,” a staple original song from season two of Euphoria.
It all started when Labrinth, who’s been Euphoria‘s chief composer since the show premiered, announced that “I’m Tired” was finally released. “I wasn’t ignoring you,” he told his followers, who had been impatient for him to drop music since he began teasing snippets of unreleased projects on social media.
Kid Cudi apparently dug the new track, retweeting Labrinth’s release announcement and tagging Zendaya to say, “Please dear GOD put me on a remix of this.” The Spider-Man: No Way Home star didn’t take long to reply, writing, “Yoooo! What a dream that would be…” and looping Labrinth back in.
“Let’s open a new dimension,” he replied.
“I’m Tired” packs an emotional punch, marked by a churchy organ and soulful vocals from both Zendaya and Labrinth. It was an integral part of Euphoria season two episode four, with the “Mount Everest” singer making an appearance to perform the song for Zendaya’s character, Rue, as she struggles with her drug addiction and grieves for her late father.
Though it may become the first to have a Kid Cudi feature, “I’m Tired” is just one of recent collaborations between Zendaya and Labrinth. The Feb. 27 Euphoria season two finale featured a full-length performance from Dominic Fike‘s character Elliot, who sang a not-yet released song written by the pair. Zendaya and Labrinth recently spoke about the similarly emotionally charged song in a segment of Enter Euphoria, a behind-the-scenes miniseries that runs at the end of each Euphoria episode on HBO’s streaming service.
“I’ll go over and I’ll shoot some stuff, and then when I have a break, I’ll go over and hang out with Lab because he has a studio now on the lot,” Zendaya said of working with Labrinth on the soundtrack. “He’s finding new sounds to complement every emotion that we go through in the show.”
“Me and Zendaya, we’re actually sitting in each other’s spiritual energy and space, and we’re getting to inspire each other to make something fresh,” Labrinth added. “The cast are not just acting now, they’re part of the music now. And I think that makes it even more special.”

Shirley Manson is set to take over curating duties for the Teenage Cancer Trust 2027 concert series, stepping into the role for next year’s Royal Albert Hall shows after Robert Smith led the 2026 edition.
The charity shared the update on Tuesday 28 April 2026, introducing the Garbage frontwoman as just the second guest curator the event has ever had.
To celebrate the reveal, Teenage Cancer Trust also dropped a video capturing Garbage’s standout performance of Lovesong by The Cure, taken from their set at this year’s shows.
Manson is following a legacy shaped by Roger Daltrey, who created and oversaw the week long fundraising concerts from 2000 through 2025, and Smith, who curated the 2026 line up.
Smith’s run featured performances from Wolf Alice, Elbow, Manic Street Preachers, My Bloody Valentine, Mogwai and Garbage, along with a sold out comedy night, helping generate £1.4 million so far in support of young people facing cancer across the UK.
Speaking about the opportunity, Manson said: “To follow in the footsteps of the great Sir Roger Daltrey and most beloved Robert Smith by being invited to curate next year’s run of shows is one of the greatest honours that has ever been bestowed upon me.
"I consider it an immense privilege to continue helping raise funds and awareness for our all too often forgotten teenagers in the UK who are living with cancer and the struggle that this entails.
"I hope to curate a fine week of entertainment, calling upon some of my favourite artists to join the cause.
"I am so looking forward to seeing it all come together at the Royal Albert Hall next year and I hope to see you there.”
Smith also spoke highly of Manson while reflecting on the success of this year’s concerts, saying: “Having played a few Teenage Cancer Trust at the Royal Albert Hall shows with The Cure, it was a real honour to curate the series in 2026, bringing together so many of my favourite artists to perform for such a great cause.
"The response and support from the audience, in the hall itself and all around the world, was really incredible.
"Garbage were one of the highlights of a stellar week, and I am very sure Shirley, with her great energy, commitment and values, will do a fantastic job in 2027.”
Daltrey also reacted to the announcement, saying: “To have a female musician with a great reputation for quality work is something that's been at the top of my wishlist going forward.
"I will always be there for her if she needs any help with anything.”
The 2027 Teenage Cancer Trust concerts are scheduled to take place from March 15 through 21 at the Royal Albert Hall, with the full line up expected to be announced soon.
