Mac Miller was an American rapper and record producer.

Miller began his career in Pittsburgh's hip hop scene in 2007, at the age of fifteen. In 2010, he signed a record deal with independent label Rostrum Records and released his breakthrough mixtapes K.I.D.S. (2010) and Best Day Ever (2011). 

Miller's debut studio album, Blue Slide Park (2011), became the first independently distributed debut album to top the US Billboard 200 since 1995.

Mac Miller finally got happy again on last year’s GO:OD AM.

It wasn’t the naïve, punkish joy of his nascent mixtapes, though.

Having found his footing, Mac continued to peddle vibrancy on “Dang!”

It’s a buoyant and bubbly song that features horns by Juilliard students (not to mention the unstoppable Anderson .Paak.

On top of an addictive funk instrumental, Mac explores the difficult terrain of misunderstandings and confusion.

He’s smitten yet losing his love’s interest.

He may get frustrated but he does not blame her.

Instead, he asks why.

What can he do to keep her from leaving?

Even the song’s title is a quiet admission that something has changed for the worse, but it’s not so insurmountable as to elicit a more negative reaction.

It takes true humility to simply ask when you’re hurt.

Mac Miller does that with a song that can light up a dance floor and brighten your day.
