"Purple Lamborghini" is a song by American DJ Skrillex and American rapper Rick Ross. It was released as a single for the motion picture soundtrack for the 2016 DC Comics film Suicide Squad on July 22, 2016 by Atlantic Records and Warner Bros. Records. In the music video, Jared Leto reprises his role as The Joker from the movie. On 6 December 2016, "Purple Lamborghini" received one Grammy Award nomination: Best Song Written for Visual Media.
The song was produced by Beat Billionaire and Skrillex, who also participated in the band composition, along with Rick Ross. The song contains multiple references to characters and motifs in the movie, including references to Killer Croc, Deadshot and Gotham City. It is possibly written from the perspective of the Joker, who is featured in both the film and music video; the character is known for his affinity for purple, including his trademark purple crocodile-leather coat in the movie.
On August 5, 2016, Skrillex uploaded the music video onto his YouTube account which features himself, Rick Ross and Jared Leto as The Joker.
