This song is the climax of the relationship. Moving on into the album, we stumble upon the song “Pink + White”. ![]() By setting up youth as a theme, Ocean relates to most of his listeners, which are teenagers, which immediately jump him up on the billboard. The rush of sex, romance, drugs, uneducated behaviour, trends like shoes “nikes” they represent how young he was when the romance started with this particular person. His repetition of having sexual intercourse with someone he doesn’t have feelings for (“we’re not in love, but I’ll make love to you”), his repetition of wanting the famous shoes it represents youth. This verse is a very evident declaration of love, but the song itself is so much deeper than just a love verse for his partner.

His previous album, named Chanel Orange, came out July 10, 2012, which left his fans craving for more, and rather impatient. After disappearing from music for four years, Frank Ocean released Blonde on August 20, 2016.
