About this song
"PUPPET" is the second collaboration between Tyler, the Creator and Kanye West, following "SMUCKERS" from Cherry Bomb. The song's second half is disjointed, with music from the start of the track abruptly cutting in.
What it's about
The song explores the obsessive and protective nature of being in love and how controlling it can be. It acknowledges both the positive and negative sides of being under a lover's thumb.
