Labrinth is not happy. The composer behind Euphoria‘s memorable soundtrack called out the HBO show in a scathing and cryptic social media post.
In a series of short statements, the British musician and producer expressed his frustration with the industry, his record label, Columbia Records, and Euphoria. “I’m done with this industry. Fuck Columbia. Double fuck Euphoria. I’m out. Thank you and goodnight,” Labrinth wrote.
The motivation behind the post remains unclear.
The post comes just a month before the highly anticipated third season of Euphoria premieres on April 12. For the first two seasons, Labrinth has played a pivotal role in the show’s music, soundtracking some of the most emotional moments and creating a sonic identity for the series.
Representatives for Labrinth, HBO, and Columbia Records did not immediately respond to Rolling Stone’s request for comment.
Last year, it was announced that Oscar-winning composer Hans Zimmer would join Labrinth to work on Euphoria Season Three. “Labrinth’s music has shaped the show’s identity and I’m looking forward to contributing to the ongoing story and helping shape this new season through music,” Zimmer said at the time.
In a separate statement, Labrinth also shared his excitement to work with the esteemed film composer. “Another chapter in the Euphoria universe! So great to join Hans, one of my heroes in film score, and bring some new magic to this new season,” he said.

Euphoria’s Season Three has not gone on without a hitch. Season Two of the show wrapped all the way back in 2022. Since then, various factors, including changes in the cast and several guild strikes, have delayed Season Three of the show.
