About this song
"Lost" is the eleventh track on channel ORANGE, Frank Ocean's critically acclaimed debut studio album. It was released as the album's fourth single on December 17, 2012, five months after the album came out. The single later earned RIAA Gold certification, and its official music video, directed by Francisco Soriano, was posted on Ocean's Tumblr in April 2013.

The narrator is a drug supplier who uses his girlfriend as a drug mule. She becomes caught up in the glamorous, jet-setting life and the money and gifts that come with it, while he promises that one day she will have a normal life after "one last smuggle," which keeps leading to another.
