Tiramisu (song)

"Tiramisu" is a song by American rapper Don Toliver, released on September 5, 2025 as the lead single from his fifth studio album Octane. It was produced by Cardo and Polo Boy Shawty.

Composition

The song leans toward an R&B sound. Don Toliver performs melodically and also uses a "chirpy, clipped" delivery similar to that of rapper 645AR. The lyrics find him seducing a romantic interest, depicting an intimate relationship that involves sex. He uses the word "tiramisu" as a metaphor in that regard, during the chorus.

Critical reception

The song received generally positive reviews. Bryson "Boom" Paul of HotNewHipHop stated "Ultimately, 'Tiramisu' transcends being a polished R&B single; it's an atmospheric exploration of contradictions—combining romance, intimacy, and melancholy. With this track, Toliver continues to define his space in contemporary hip-hop and R&B through ambiguity and emotional depth." Aaron Williams believed that the song "benefits greatly from Cardo's laid-back but propulsive production, which brings a new dimension out of Toliver's sing-song flow", and Toliver's vocal delivery "works pretty well here". Robin Murray of Clash described it as a "wavey dose of top tier American rap" and "Perhaps the best rap song to be named after an Italian coffee-based dessert this year".

Music video

The music video was released alongside the single. It features obscured shots of Don Toliver, with visuals primarily focusing on women, who appear to be on a nighttime camping trip. The clip also includes driving sequences with burnout, as well as a silhouette figure dancing.
