“Epidemic” is Chicago rapper Polo G’s first commercial single following the release of his sophomore album THE GOAT in May 2020. The track finds Polo using melodic flows to discuss common topics, such as street gangs and firearms, over a Dmac and Tahj Money-produced instrumental. In the song, Polo G sing-raps about losing people close to him, especially those who died by gun violence, which is described as an "epidemic", stating: "I'm so sick of farewells and RIP's / In the trenches yellin', "Gang gang", mob ties what I bleed / Don't claim to be an opp, 'cause niggas die from that disease / He gon' let that 9 blow with ease". Later, he vows to be careful for the sake of his family ("Promise to my son that the streets won't get no more of me / Remember every line from that obituary poetry"). The song is sung over a piano-based beat. The music video was released alongside the single. Directed by Ryan Lynch and shot in Miami, it shows the "lavish lifestyle" of Polo G. The rapper spends time with his friends; he rides in yachts and motorcycles, hanging in the studio and playing basketball.
