"Purple Lamborghini" is a song by American DJ Skrillex and American rapper Rick Ross. The song was released as a single for the motion picture soundtrack for Suicide Squad (2016) on July 22, 2016 by Atlantic Records and Warner Bros. Records.[1]

Background

The song was produced by Beat Billionaire and Skrillex, who also participated in the band composition, along with Rick Ross.[2] The song contains multiple references to characters and motifs in the movie including mentions of Killer Croc, Deadshot and Gotham City and it is possibly written from the perspective of the Joker who is featured in both the movie and music video and is famous for his affinity for purple including his suit. It is important to note that in the film, the Joker does not drive a purple Lamborghini, but an Infiniti G35 with a Vaydor body kit.

Music video

On August 5, 2016 Skrillex uploaded the music video on his YouTube account which features himself, Rick Ross and Jared Leto as the Joker.[3]
