Another notable track is *Good Life*, featuring the vocal styling of T-Pain. The track radiates good vibes, mirroring the album’s themes of joy. It became an anthem for triumph and success.

With its lyrics, *the Graduation album* addresses topics of the price of stardom. Kanye reflects on his desire for validation, throughout the album remaining introspective. Songs like *Can't Tell Me Nothing* highlight Kanye’s complex relationship with success.
