“Lucifer” is the 7th song on Eminem’s 12th studio album The Death of Slim Shady (Coup De Grâce). He kicks off the track by alluding to the album’s concept and his “kill shots”. He, then, delves into his turbulent relationship with social media, his rejection of political correctness, and his typical over-the-top references to public figures such as Candace Owens, Amber Heard, and the Columbine High School massacre, all delivered with his signature wit and provocative style.
