Don Toliver's solo debut came just a few months later, with the debut singles "I Gotta" and "Diva" dropping in November and December, respectively. However, the singles quickly caught the ear of Atlantic Records, which signed Toliver to the label in March 2018. Under Atlantic, he released his major-label debut album, Donny Womack.
While working on the tape, Toliver caught the attention of fellow Houston native Travis Scott, who invited the young rapper to Hawaii to work on a song on his then-upcoming third studio album, ASTROWORLD. Eagerly accepting, the sessions landed Toliver a feature on the album's thirteenth track, "CAN'T SAY" by Travis Scott, inspiring him to record much of the material for Donny Womack.
On August 3, 2018, the same day as Travis released his album, he gave a major cosign to Toliver on Twitter:
Coincidentally, on August 2, 2018, Toliver dropped his project, Donny Womack, the day before ASTROWORLD.
Genius caught up with the rising Houston artist just a few days before ASTROWORLD's release to discuss his relationship with Travis, going to Hawaii for the ASTROWORLD sessions, and his hopes for Donny Womack as his profile gets a dramatic boost.
When Genius asked him about how he met Travis and his relationship with him, he replied:
"When I first started linking up with Travis, somebody from my camp reached out to somebody in his camp. I sent them music and videos and it got to Travis and he was feeling it. He came back and we were able to link up and vibe."
In May 2019, he released his single "No Idea," the lead single of his March 2020 debut studio album, Heaven Or Hell. "No Idea" got its popularity from the viral social media app TikTok, on all the lip-sync and dance videos on the app.
In December 2019, JACKBOYS (Cactus Jack Records members) and Travis Scott released their compilation album, JACKBOYS. On the album, Toliver has a track titled "Had Enough" (also on Heaven Or Hell) featuring Quavo and Offset from the hip-hop trio Migos. He was also featured on another track by JACKBOYS and Travis, titled "WHAT TO DO?" from the album. In addition, he, Travis, and Luxury Tax provided vocals on another track by JACKBOYS and Sheck Wes, titled "GANG GANG."
On January 17, 2020, Toliver took another giant leap in his career. American rapper Eminem released his eleventh studio album, Music to Be Murdered By, in which Toliver featured on the eighteenth track, "No Regrets." The song's producer, D.A. Doman, recruited Toliver to record and sing the chorus at the "last minute."
On March 13, 2020, Toliver released Heaven Or Hell, his debut studio album, through Cactus Jack Records and Atlantic Records. It contains features from Travis Scott, Kaash Paige, Quavo, Offset, and Sheck Wes.
On October 8, 2021, Toliver released Life of A Don, his second studio album, through Cactus Jack Records and Atlantic Records. It contains features from Travis Scott, Kali Uchis, Baby Keem, HVN, and SoFaygo.
Euphoria
Don Toliver Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Drownin' in euphoria, euphoria
Sleep alone by my phone all the time
Check my phone, already knowin' it's dry
Fake friends and old hoes, they all bangin' my line
Tryna get the patience, but I have no time
Like a dead man walking
Funny how they never care about the old you
I'ma blow up, that's what I'm 'posed to
After I blow up, act like I don't know you
Euphoria
I'm drownin' in euphoria
Drownin' in euphoria
Drownin' in euphoria
I pulled off, off the street (pulled off, pulled off)
Took two down, help me bleed (ooh)
Hate when I'm in that mode (in that mode)
I should pull up with the
That's too easy
You say something to leave me, but I'm not good at reachin'
I tried that reason
Secret lust, leave alone, then come back on this side
We both half high
Euphoria, tell me right now
If I can get high with you
Euphoria, ask me right now
And I'll tell you all the truth
Euphoria
I'm drownin' in euphoria
Drownin' in euphoria
Drownin' in euphoria
Seems like I came in time (seems like)
But I thought I could do better, babe
Think about you every day (seems like)
Just like a diamond, you shine (seems like)
Too many girls in other states
I wouldn't have told you anyway
I guess you've had enough (had enough)
I called you four times, I guess you mad or what? (Mad or)
And me bein' me, I guess I'm outspoken (yeah)
I leave all these girls around my house heartbroken
Euphoria, tell me right now
If I can get high for you
Euphoria, ask me right now
And I'll tell is all the truth
Euphoria
I'm drownin' in euphoria
Drownin' in euphoria, euphoria
Euphoria
The lyrics of Don Toliver's song "Euphoria" appear to convey mixed emotions of pleasure and pain, hopelessness and possibilities. The opening lyrics, "Euphoria, I'm drownin' in euphoria, drownin' in euphoria, euphoria," are followed by a feeling of loneliness and anxiety as the artist reveals that he spends his time alone, checking his phone for messages, but finding nothing. The second verse reveals that his life is filled with "fake friends and old hoes," who only care about his success and not him as a person. Despite this, the artist still aims for success, as he is determined to "blow up," but plans to act like he does not know those who never cared about him.
At the same time, the song suggests that the artist is experiencing mixed emotions of love, desire, and pain in a romantic relationship. He admits that he hates being in "that mode," and although he tries to reason with his lover, he is often unsuccessful. Despite this pain, he still seems to be drawn to this person and experiences "euphoria" around them. The artist seems to be caught between these two worlds, discovering euphoria but feeling the pain that comes with it.
