Set to debut this summer, the album will kick off with its inaugural single, "Houdini."

The track kicks off with a familiar Eminem signature, featuring his longtime manager Paul Rosenberg expressing skepticism about the album. "Hey Em, it’s Paul. I was listening to the album… Good fucking luck, you’re on your own,” Rosenberg remarks.

"Houdini" serves as a nod to Eminem's 2002 hit "Without Me," opening with the catchy lines, “Guess who’s back, back again / Shady’s back, tell a friend.” Produced by Eminem and his trusted collaborator Luis Resto, the song incorporates elements from Steve Miller Band’s “Abracadabra” in the chorus, while also making a reference to Megan Thee Stallion's shooting incident. Eminem raps, “If I was to ask for Megan Thee Stallion if she would collab with me / Would I really have a shot at a feat? I don’t know, but I’m glad to be, back.”
