Interesting facts and trivia about Pursuit Of Happiness (Nightmare). By Songfacts®.

This is the third single from American rapper Kid Cudi's debut album Man on the Moon: The End of the Day.

The song features the New York based dance punk act MGMT and was produced and co-written by New York electro duo Ratatat. AOL asked Cudi what he was listening to whilst making the record. He replied: "The stuff that I listened to the most was probably MGMT and Ratatat. I was a super big fan of both groups even before I thought of attempting to reach out to them for the album. With MGMT, I was inspired by their lyrics. They really taught me to think outside the box when writing."

The song was premiered on DJ Semtex's BBC Radio 1Xtra show on September 4, 2009. Its American debut was on David Letterman's Late Show on September 11, 2009.
