“Biking” finds Frank Ocean, JAY-Z, and Tyler, The Creator working around a bicycle metaphor, each employing it in a different manner. The track works in the “cyclic form” of musical construction, with each of the featured artists drawing on each other’s verses to create unity within the track.

The song was announced on April 7, 2017, and premiered the next day on episode 003 of Ocean’s online radio show, blonded RADIO, on Apple Music 1 (formerly Beats 1).
