Inspired by the character John Redcorn from the cartoon series King of the Hill, SiR's song "John Redcorn," which is featured on his 2019 album Chasing Summer, is a poignant examination of heartbreak and unrequited love. A Native American healer named John Redcorn has a long-term romance with Nancy Gribble in the episode. The two have a son named Joseph, whom her husband Dale thinks is his own. John Redcorn is trapped in a condition of emotional limbo, unwilling to publicly accept his son or completely claim his place in Nancy's life, while Dale is unaware of the clear indications.
SiR explores the difficulties of loving someone who is emotionally unavailable by drawing on this story. He depicts the anguish of being near someone but feeling isolated all the time, echoing John Redcorn's quiet suffering. Deep longing and the internal struggle of wanting to be chosen by someone who is committed somewhere else are reflected in the lyrics.
By reinventing King of the Hill characters with TDE artists—SiR as John Redcorn, Kendrick Lamar as Hank Hill, Jay Rock as Boomhauer, Ab-Soul as Dale, and ScHoolboy Q as Bill—the music video strengthens this bond even more. This imaginative decision emphasises the enduring essence of such emotional struggles while simultaneously paying respect to the original series and giving the narrative a modern, intimate touch.
"John Redcorn" is a very moving song that combines contemporary culture with intimate feelings to give listeners a profound and realistic understanding of the intricacies of love.
