"It's a Raid" is a song by English singer Ozzy Osbourne featuring American rapper and singer Post Malone. The song is based on an incident where, during a drug-fuelled party, Osbourne mistakenly activated a silent alarm believing the button was for the air conditioning, resulting in the police suddenly showing up. The song was written by Osbourne, Malone, Chad Smith, Ali Tamposi, and producers Andrew Watt & Louis Bell. The track was released on 20 February 2020 as the fourth single from Osbourne's twelfth studio album, Ordinary Man (2020). It preceded the release of the album by a day. It is the second collaboration between Osbourne and Malone, after "Take What You Want" (with Travis Scott) from Malone's third studio album, Hollywood's Bleeding (2019), in September 2019.[1] It was likely recorded at the time when Osbourne, Malone, and Scott were in the studio recording "Take What You Want".[2]
