Gangsta


"Gangsta" is a 2016 R&B track by Kehlani, released as part of the Suicide Squad soundtrack on Atlantic Records. Written from Harley Quinn's perspective, the song captures the dark romance between Harley and The Joker. For electric guitarists, it offers an opportunity to explore moody, atmospheric chord work and restrained playing that complements the song's brooding, cinematic feel.

  • "Gangsta" was the fourth and final single released from the Suicide Squad soundtrack album in 2016.
  • The lyrics are written from Harley Quinn's point of view, reflecting her obsessive love for The Joker.
  • The track was co-written by Skylar Grey alongside Kehlani and producers Andrew Swanson and JMIKE.
