Nominated and winning multiple Emmy and Golden Globes awards, “The Office” is a documentary-style television show following a small paper company in Scranton, Pennsylvania.

In the song, “Sucker for Pain,” there are five artists featured, rapping and singing. These artists are Ty Dolla Sign, Lil Wayne, Imagine Dragons, Wiz Khalifa and Logic.
