Release and composition

The song was released in promotion for the album and TV special of the same name, for streaming and digital download on September 23, 2022. "Willing to Trust" runs for a duration of four minutes and 42 seconds. Rolling Stone called the song a "characteristically woozy Kid Cudi cut, anchored by deep bass grooves, awash with heavy synths, and sprinkled with some spaced-out guitar riffs. Cudi and Ty trade off vocal duties on the verses before linking up on the simple, yet affecting refrain." The song bears elements of contemporary R&B and neo soul.

Live performances

On September 28, 2022, Cudi appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, where he was interviewed to promote the album and TV special, during the show he also performed the single "Willing to Trust" alongside Ty Dolla Sign.
