Boom Boom Boom Boom is a song performed by Lucious Lyon & Freda Gatz (Terrence Howard & Bre-Z) that was first heard in the season two episode "A High Hope for a Low Heaven". It was released on November 6, 2015.

A High Hope for a Low Heaven

The song is first heard when Lucious, in an attempt to sway Hakeem over, gives him the song to keep, with no strings attached. However, Hakeem, who is aware of his father's deceitful ways and that there are strings attached - or rather, ropes - rejects the song. Lucious then invites Freda Gatz and plays the beat for her, and together the two manage to create the hook & chorus of the song. The song is also played in the background as Cookie Lyon, wanting to forget the events of her tiresome week, goes to Laz's house and starts a passionate affair with him, oblivious that he has a goat horn tattoo on the back; the same tattoo's that Big Heavy and his boys (the ones who jacked Tiana & kidnapped Hakeem) have.

True Love Never

The episode begins with Lucious and Freda recording the song at Empire's studio. However, Freda, wrought with the pain over her father's death, is unable to finish the song. Lucious then tells her that she needs to put the pain in the music, and adds that he will be performing the song for Huey Jarvis, a musical legend, for one of his Living Room sessions. This motivates Freda to finish her verse, to which Lucious congratulates her.

Huey Jarvis listens to BBBB

Lucious then goes to Huey Jarvis' house and plays the song for him, but Huey tells him that it's not finished - he wants to hear the part of Lucious that he keeps locked tight, and for that he tells Lucious that he must dig deeper. Taking Huey's advice to heart, Lucious goes to one of his recording studios and attempts to perfect the song, strumming on the sitar. However, he is unable to finish it, as every time he tries to dig deeper he experiences flashback of his mother.

Leah Walker's Suicide

Later on that week, as Lucious is about to engage in a threesome with Mimi, he sees a tattoo of a revolver on the upper thigh of the woman whom he and Mimi were going to have sex with. He quickly leaves the room and retrieves a box, the contents of which are a revolver - the same revolver his mother Leah had used to kill herself. In the flashback, it is revealed that his mother had put one bullet in the six round chamber and said "Boom" every time she clicked the trigger, until it ended with a bang, when his mother killed herself; thus revealing that the song's name and hook (Boom Boom Boom Boom, Bang Bang Bang Bang) derive from that moment of childhood trauma.

BBBB with Leah's Revolver

Lucious then takes the revolver and heads over to Empire at 4am, and has Freda brought in. Using the revolver to make rhythmic clicks, he and Freda both add a new verse each to the song, finally managing to finish it to Lucious' perfection.
