Gilligan is D.R.A.M’s first 2017 single in features by Juicy J (who co-produced the track) and A$AP Rocky. This song is different to his usual upbeat style, and rather visits a colder dark trap influence that Juicy J and A$AP Rocky are more used to.

A$AP Rocky first debuted this song at the Weedmaps Oasis afterparty when he took over the DJ booth in which he was also teasing his own upcoming music and came across Gilligan.

D.R.A.M. also previewed the song in a promotional video for his Coachella performance
