"Magic" rides a bittersweet yet blissful wave with Staples treasuring his success while cognisant of the struggles that came before. "Feelin' like I'm floating to the ceiling is it magic?" he raps in the beginning, with Mustard offering a dreamy take on his chart-friendly G-funk. In a statement obtained by Pitchfork, Staples said the song's title is "symbolic of home. And everyone has a home. Even though it’s very personal to me, everyone can relate to it. That’s why I thought it would work for this chapter.”
