"Bound 2" is a song by American rapper Kanye West, featured as the final track from his sixth studio album, ''Yeezus'' (2013). It was produced by West and Che Pope, with additional production being handled by Eric Danchick, Noah Goldstein, No ID and Mike Dean. The song features vocals from American soul singer Charlie Wilson and serves as the album's second single. "Bound 2" incorporates samples from Wee's "Aeroplane (Reprise)", from "Bound" by Ponderosa Twins Plus One, and the line "Uh-huh, honey" from Brenda Lee's "Sweet Nothin's". The controversial music video features his wife Kim Kardashian West, topless, riding on a motorbike with West through various landscapes. "Bound 2" received general acclaim from music critics, who referred to the song as one of the highlights of the album, comparing its soul influenced, sample-based production to West's debut studio album, ''The College Dropout'' (2004). The song peaked at number 55 on the UK Singles Chart and 12 on the US ''Billboard'' Hot 100 chart. ==Background and composition== On June 1, 2013, West revealed the cover of his sixth studio album ''Yeezus'' and premiered a 13-second preview of "Bound 2". It was only one of three songs that were previewed prior to the album's release, the others being "New Slaves" and "Black Skinhead". "Bound 2" features substantial soul music samples, which critics noted as reminiscent of West's production style in his earlier work.〔 The song is predominantly built around a sample taken from "Bound", a song by soul-group Ponderosa Twins Plus One from their 1971 album, ''2 + 2 + 1 = Ponderosa Twins Plus One''. Interpolations from "Aeroplane (Reprise)", written by Norman Whiteside and performed by Wee and the line "Uh-huh, honey" from the song "Sweet Nothin's", written by Ronnie Self and performed by country singer Brenda Lee were also utilized in the song.〔 Lee reacted to the sampling of her song on the track, saying: On February 15, 2014, Hudson Mohawke played an original version of "Bound 2" during a DJ set in Leeds.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Hear Hudson Mohawke Reveal The Original Version Of Kanye’s "Bound" Feat.
