“Junya” is a tribute to elusive Japanese fashion designer Junya Watanabe.
Watanabe, a protégé of Comme des Garçons designer Rei Kawakubo, is best known for his work with CDG as well as his own eponymous clothing brand.
The song features Kanye’s “Go2DaMoon” collaborator Playboi Carti, marking the duo’s second collaboration. This track is one of two collaborations with Carti on "Donda", the other being “Off the Grid”.
Prior to "Donda", Kanye shared a now-deleted photo to Instagram of himself and Carti recording together at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, presumably working on this track.
The song is produced by Digital Nas, who produced Carti’s early tracks “Run It” and “Lil Boy,” and marks the first collaboration between Kanye and Digital Nas.
“Junya” debuted at #15 on the Rolling Stone’s Top 100 Songs Chart during the week ending September 2, 2021.
During the week ending September 11, “Junya” debuted at #16 on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart.
