It's a rework of "XXX" from Lamar's 'DAMN.'

Best buds U2 and Kendrick Lamar have teamed up for yet another collaboration, this time joining forces for "American Soul."
 
The track appears on the Irish rockers' upcoming album Songs of Experience —but if it sounds familiar, that's because it repurposes pieces from the U2-featuring cut "XXX" on Lamar's 2017 record DAMN.
 
Lamar's involvement on "American Soul" is pretty limited, but he does deliver an opening monologue before Bono and co. take the reins.
 
Listen to "American Soul" below.
 
Lamar also appears on "Get Out of Your Own Way" on U2's forthcoming album. As previously reported, Songs of Experience will arrive on December 1 via Universal Canada. You can pre-order it in standard CDvinyldeluxe CD and super deluxe vinyl editions via MusicVaultz.
