Set against a backdrop awash in synths and distorted drum beats, “Does This Go Faster?” is existential and propulsive. With airy vocals, West sings: "Nothing on earth is free // Even in ecstasy // Hell is the day after the party // Nothing on earth is free // Oblivion seems heavenly, but // Hell is the day after the party.” The song was co-produced by West (vocals, guitar, synths) and Melina Duterte (bass, synthesizers, guitar), and features Abby Black on drums and Sen Morimoto on saxophone. It’s the first taste of new music from Lala Lala since the release of 2024’s instrumental album, if i were a real man i would be able to break the neck of a suffering bird, and the first vocal track since the 2023 singles “HIT ME WHERE IT HURTS” and “Armida.”

Commenting on the song, West says, “I blew up my life and spent two years with my things in storage, traveling around. I wrote this in Iceland during the time I started to feel a little like… What did I do? What happened? What now?”
