Background[]

Tyler, the Creator began a one-week countdown on Twitter and Instagram to promote and release the two dual-singles called "Who Dat Boy" and "911 / Mr. Lonely" on June 30, 2017.[1][3] The single debuted at 87 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song was originally written for Schoolboy Q, but he turned it down.[4]

Music video[]

The song's accompanying music video was uploaded on June 29, 2017 on Tyler's official YouTube channel.[5] The music video was directed by Tyler under the pseudonym Wolf Haley.[6][7] The music video features rapper Action Bronson's face being sewn onto Tyler's, as well as visual allusions to the 2017 film Get Out. It also features a snippet of the song "911/ Mr. Lonely" at the end of the track. The video features rapper A$AP Rocky, who is sewing the part of the face that was blown up with another different face and also Tucker Tripp who is Tyler's co-driver in this video.
