Now HBO's second most-watched show after "Game of Thrones," Euphoria ends its 2nd season leaving not just fans hooked, but also artists.

The show centered on teenagers struggling with trauma, identity, relationships, drugs, friendships, and relationships, including a musically splashed soundtrack by show composer Labrinth and lead star, Zendaya.

The all-original score

The 26-tracked Labrinth masterpiece work for Euphoria's original score gave birth to Primetime Emmy Award's 2020 Outstanding Original Music and Lyrics "All For Us."

The track also peaked Billboard's Global 200 at No. 78 and UK Singles Chart at No. 57.

Like most of the first season's original score, their latest work, "I'm Tired," sung and composed by Labrinth and Zendaya, was received well by fans and music artists alike.

The track first heard at the 4th episode of the season finally debuted the entire track at the explosive season finale last Sunday.

"I'm Tired" was written by Zendaya, Labrinth, and showrunner Sam Levinson to portray's Zendaya's character Rue's exhaustion.

Labrinth also revealed that the track was written as an "impulsive inspiration," but the three of them met and "spiritually, creatively and personally understand" how the song pushes them into fitting it into Rue's narrative.

As the massive hit as it is now, the track caught Kid Cudi's radar.

The "Just Look Up" rapper took to Twitter to express his appreciation for the song and quoted it.

The tweet amassed more than 50,000 likes and over 3,600 retweets, making its way to Zendaya.

Zendaya's response, who seemed to be down with the new collaboration, mentioned Euphoria composer Labrinth in her tweet.

As cryptic it may sound, Labrinth wants to open a "new dimension" with Kid Cudi's suggestion.

Even though it may be the first song by Zendaya and Labrinth to include Kid Cudi, "I am Tired" is simply one of several recent collaborations between the two artists.

The season two finale of Euphoria, which aired on February 27, featured a full-length performance by Dominic Fike's character Elliot, who sang a song composed by the duo that has not yet been published.

In a snippet of "Enter Euphoria," a behind-the-scenes miniseries that airs at the end of each episode of the hit HBO series, Zendaya, and Labrinth discussed the song's emotional resonance with their respective fans.

"Me and Zendaya, we're actually sitting in each other's spiritual energy and space, and we're getting to inspire each other to make something fresh," Labrinth explained.
