"Humble" (stylized as "HUMBLE.") is a song by American rapper Kendrick Lamar. It was released on March 30, 2017, by Top Dawg Entertainment, Aftermath Entertainment and Interscope Records. The song, written by Lamar and Mike Will Made It and produced by the latter, was serviced to rhythmic contemporary radio as the lead single from Lamar's fourth studio album, Damn, released on April 14, 2017. The single became Lamar's second number-one song on the US Billboard Hot 100 after "Bad Blood" and his first as a lead artist. It also topped the charts in New Zealand. The song is the eighth track on Damn.

On the day of its release Pitchfork named it Best New Track noting that "Humble" is a "hard-nosed G check of his lessers, that pivots into imperfect critiques of beauty standards".NPR's Andrew Flanagan thought, "the song, less exploration of contrition on the part of Lamar than an instruction to his peers, picks up a thread NPR Music first examined following that album teaser: how the "best rapper alive" might explore the theme of God, religion and personal growth." For Alex Young of Consequence of Sound, "it's got all the ingredients of a proper lead single: a Mike WiLL Made It-produced beat built on piano and 808 bass, a chorus you can spit along to (“Sit down/ Be humble”), and shoutouts to Grey Poupon and the former president." Writing for The Guardian, Harriet Gibson opined the song "is sparse and rigid, beginning with the crunching swipes of an electric guitar, and is lead by beats and sinister stabs of piano. It is a showcase for his authoritative lyricism and preacher-like message, while the instrumentation is far from the complex jazz and funk sounds of To Pimp a Butterfly... In fact, Humble has more in common with grime's minimalism than it does the vintage stylings of his recent output."
