context_section_description: "Paranoid" is a hip hop song backed by a synthesizer-driven production created by DJ Mustard. The song was originally recorded by Ty Dolla Sign and his frequent collaborator Joe Moses, and it was included on DJ Mustard's Ketchup mixtape. It was then released again on Ty's July 2013 mixtape, Beach House 2. Then, when the song was officially released and pushed as a single later in the year, Moses' verse had been replaced by Ty's Atlantic Records label-mate B.o.B.. It was rumored that Moses had been replaced by B.o.B due to Moses' comments in his verse about T.I.'s wife Tameka Cottle, however Ty denied the rumor and deemed it "hilarious."
  On the song, Ty croons about him juggling a relationship between two different women, and being worried about one of them finding out about the other. Overall, the two artists detail multiple girls attempting to catch them in the act cheating, causing them to be on edge. The song premiered on Rap Radar on August 28, 2013, where it was announced that it would be released as a single on September 10, 2013.
