On “Savior,” Kendrick teams up with Sam Dew and Baby Keem to inform his listeners about the brokenness of society. The song comes directly after “Savior (Interlude),” which Baby Keem also plays a central role on.
In the intro, Kendrick sets the tone by reminding those who look up to public figures that they are only human. Each verse tackles a different subject: in the first verse, he addresses a host of racial issues; in the second, he talks about COVID-19 and political correctness; and, in the third verse, he discusses his own flaws and struggles.
Kendrick is well-known for his Christian faith, as evidenced by such songs as “YAH.” and “FEAR.” from April 2017’s DAMN.—which dropped on Good Friday, the day Christians commemorate Christ’s crucifixion. With this in mind, when Kendrick talks about the lack of a modern-day Messiah, we are instead pointed to his savior: Jesus Christ.
