“ESCAPE PLAN” consists of a catchy trap beat that sets the stage for Travis' lyrics about his superstar rapper lifestyle, delivered via his quintissential autotuned vocals.

The song was first teased in an ad for Spotify on June 24, 2021. Then, the next day, an extended version was heard during Travis' set at the Cactus Jack for Dior Summer 2022 fashion show—with the track title being confirmed on Kim Jones' Instagram after the event.

A month later, on July 24, 2021, a snippet of the music video was previewed on Travis' Twitter—arriving alongside a live performance of the song at Rolling Loud Miami 2021.

The full visual was eventually revealed 12 hours after the official dual-release of “ESCAPE PLAN,” and “MAFIA,” on November 5, 2021.
