“Skyline To” expels random thoughts that Frank Ocean is having, from sex to drugs, and acts as a sort of interlude that slightly alters the mood, transitioning between “Solo” and “Self Control.” Ocean mentions summer, nighttime, and sex throughout the song.

Initially, Kendrick Lamar was rumored to feature on this track, shouting out the ad-libs. Lamar was listed as an album contributor in Boys Don’t Cry magazine, released in companion with Blonde, and was initially listed a co-writer of “Skyline To,” alongside Tyler, The Creator, with ASCAP, an organization involved in the tracking of royalties; Lamar was later removed ASCAP’s database and did not appear in the liner notes accompanying the 2016 Black Friday releases of the Blonde. This seems to indicate that Lamar contributed to “Skyline To” at some point during its development but was ultimately not included in the released version of the track; he is also known to have performed an unreleased verse on the ninth track “Nights.”
