"White Ferrari" sits deep into Blonde, Frank Ocean's second album, as its fourteenth track, and it was a rumor before it was a song. Ahead of the album's 2016 release, A-Trak posted that a track by that name was coming without saying whose, Rostam Batmanglij backed him up, and fans pieced it together from a promo photo of Ocean with the word "Ferrari" half cut off on a chalkboard.
Ocean's fascination with cars steers this one too: it's a drive with a lover he addresses only as "you", never saying who. He produced it with Jon Brion and Om’Mas Keith, Alex G plays guitar, Brion, Malay and Buddy Ross add keyboards, and Tom Elmhirst mixed it into a soft, drifting haze. John Lennon and Paul McCartney are among the credited writers.
