Background and composition



"Discounts" and its precursor "Lemon Pepper" were released not long after Cupcakke's hiatus of late 2019. She announced her retirement after being disappointed with "corrupting the youth" with her hypersexualized music. After two months, Cupcakke returned to social media writing "Jesus fasted for 40 days... and so did I."

In the Fantom-produced song, Cupcakke name-drops Azealia Banks and Megan Thee Stallion, and references Cardi B's bruised forehead after attempting to physically attack Nicki Minaj at NYFW 2018.

Reception



Critics described the song as "fierce" "fiery", and "bold". Jessica McKinney of 'Complex' highlighted her "witty wordplay and rapid delivery". 'BrooklynVegan' wrote, "CupcakKe remains prolific [...] She goes 'hard' on this one".

Commercial performance



"Discounts" became CupcakKe's first charting single in her career. It charted on the UK Singles Downloads Chart at number 78 and the Scottish Singles Chart at number 70.

Music video



After announcing it earlier that month, the video titled "Discounts" (The Movie), was officially released on July 28, 2020.
