“Chanel” was the first solo track by Frank Ocean released after of his projects Endless & Blonde in August 2016.

Ocean premiered the track during the second episode of his Apple Music 1 online radio show, blonded RADIO, on March 10, 2017, where he looped variations of it for an hour. It followed his feature on the February 2017 single “Slide” by Calvin Harris, alongside the group Migos.

Ocean debuted “Chanel” with an official remix featuring A$AP Rocky. The dual release of the two tracks fits well with Ocean’s famous “twooo versions” riff and his continued exploration of duality.
