"Paranoid" is a song by American rapper Ty Dolla $ign, released on September 10, 2013, as the first single from his debut EP, Beach House EP (2014). The song, produced by DJ Mustard, features a guest appearance from B.o.B. The song was written by Tyrone Griffin, Bobby Simmons and Dijon McFarlane. "Paranoid" is a hip hop song that lyrically describes being in fear of getting caught cheating.
"Paranoid" received overall favorable reviews from music critics. The song peaked at number 29 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart and reached number nine on the US Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. An accompanying music video premiered through Revolt and YouTube on October 22, 2013 that features both Ty and B.o.B being tortured by their girlfriends.
"Paranoid" is a hip hop song backed by a synthesizer-driven production created by DJ Mustard. The song was originally recorded by Ty Dolla Sign and his frequent collaborator Joe Moses, and it was included on DJ Mustard's Ketchup mixtape. It was then released again on Ty's July 2013 mixtape, Beach House 2. Then, when the song was officially released and pushed as a single later in the year, Moses' verse had been replaced by Ty's Atlantic Records label-mate B.o.B.. It was rumored that Moses had been replaced by B.o.B due to Moses' comments in his verse about T.I.'s wife Tameka Cottle, however Ty denied the rumor and deemed it "hilarious."
