On “Remote Control,” Kanye enlists his “Highlights” collaborator Young Thug for a reflection on his faith in God.

While early demos of the track saw Kanye poking fun at how futuristic society has become in 2021–referencing hover crafts and iPhones as “remote controls”–this version explores God’s omnipresent nature, remotely controlling the world from Heaven.

Following Donda’s release, Soulja Boy revealed that Kanye had asked Soulja to record a verse for the track, however, his verse was omitted from the final version of the song.
