Background[edit]

The single is an introspective regarding Lamar's family and social life, alcoholism, and the peer pressure which accompanies it amongst his friends. In the first verse, he remembers his grandfather's drinking and resulting death,^[2] and the reasons that led Lamar himself to drinking.^[3] The desire from the perspective of his peers, is the social pressure pressed upon him to 'get a swimming pool full of liquor' and then 'dive in it'. At the second verse, Lamar, now drunk, is conversing with his own subconscious, which is attempting to warn him of 'drown[ing] in some poison'. By the final verse of the song, Lamar is accepting his fate that he believes he will 'probably sleep and never ever wake up'.

The extended album version of the track features an interlude and a skit that expands on the concept story of the album. Now drunk and eager to impress his peers, he thinks once more of the album's love interest, Sherane, before detailing a shoot-out between Lamar's friends and their gang rivals, in which his friend's brother is shot and killed. 'Swimming Pools (Drank)' is the album's lead single and the follow-up to Lamar's debut single 'The Recipe'.

Music video[edit]

The music video, directed by Jerome D, premiered August 3, 2012 on 106 & Park. A review by the magazineRolling Stone shared a summary of the video stating: 'In his new video for 'Swimming Pools (Drank),' Kendrick Lamar defies gravity, floating and tumbling in suspended space as liquor bottles fly upwards and smash into the ceiling. The rapper gets introspective on a woozy beat, considering the highs and lows of alcohol consumption and the sense of confidence it bestows upon the drinker. Lamar spends most of the video rapping alone, but color-filtered shots of a booze-soaked rager poke through the more contemplative scenes.'
