Is Sunflower (Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse) - Post Malone Halal or Haram?

Across the schools of thought analyzed, the highest verdict for "Sunflower (Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse) - Post Malone" is Caution (2/5).

Is Sunflower (Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse) - Post Malone halal according to Sistani?

Haram (1/5). The song's upbeat, rhythmic, and highly melodic synth-pop tune is of the type commonly used in modern entertainment and amusement gatherings (parties, clubs, commercial radio). According to Sistani's 'Expert Recognition Test,' an expert would easily identify this tune type as suitable for such gatherings. Furthermore, the vocal delivery by Post Malone and Swae Lee is highly expressive, melodic, and undulating, which constitutes 'ghina' (entertaining vocal expression common to professional entertainers). Therefore, listening to it is forbidden, and any personal emotional or relaxing effects of the song are legally irrelevant.

Is Sunflower (Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse) - Post Malone halal according to Khamenei?

Likely Haram (2/5). The song is evaluated under the 3-component lahwi assessment. It features a highly rhythmic, upbeat, and danceable tempo (which can trigger physical dancing, one of the categories of forbidden entertainment). Lyrically, while it does not explicitly glorify drugs or alcohol, it contains mild sexual innuendo ('ride me like a cruise') and focuses entirely on secular, codependent romantic attachment, which has a strong potential to divert the mind from the remembrance of Allah (lahwi).
