“N95” foi lançada como o single principal do quinto álbum de Kendrick Lamar, *Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers*, em 20 de maio de 2022, e alcançou o pico de #3 na Billboard Hot 100 na semana de 28 de maio, tornando‑se o oitavo top 10 de Kendrick.
O título faz alusão às máscaras N95 usadas contra a COVID‑19, mas a letra critica máscaras de luxo e fachadas sociais, usando o simbolismo como metáfora para hipocrisia e “clout chase”.
A ponte e a primeira metade do terceiro verso foram inicialmente previstas para aparecer na faixa “vent” de Baby Keem, do álbum *The Melodic Blue* (2021), porém Kendrick acabou contribuindo apenas com vocais no refrão.
Em setembro de 2020, Kendrick foi flagrado filmando cenas para o clipe de “N95” à beira‑mar; duas anos depois, o vídeo oficial – dirigido por ele e por Dave Free – mostrou o rapper em pose reminiscentes de Jesus na cruz, reforçando os temas religiosos do álbum.
O clipe estreia em 14 de maio de 2022, um dia antes do lançamento do álbum, e inclui referências visuais como a placa “This Shit Hard”, treinos em um apartamento decadente e uma corrida de Kendrick entre uma multidão de homens negros, aludindo ao vídeo “This Is America” de Childish Gambino.
Na mesma semana de estreia, quatro faixas do álbum, incluindo “N95”, entraram no top 10 da Hot 100, marcando a presença dominante de *Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers* nas paradas musicais dos EUA.
