"Down in Atlanta" is a song produced by Pharrell Williams with vocals by American rapper Travis Scott. Written by the two,it was released as a single through Columbia Records on November 18,2022. It also serves as Scott's first official release as a lead artist in a little over a year,following the release of the late 2021 singles "Escape Plan" and "Mafia",although he had been featured on a few songs in 2022. [1] Both artists have collaborated before when Williams contributed production to Scott's 2015 song,"Flying High",and provided guest vocals on his 2018 song,"Skeletons". [2]
In late August 2022,Williams and Scott were spotted together in a recording studio. [3] The song was first teased a few weeks later and then kept on being teased,and Scott also performed a portion of it live at his "Road to Utopia" residency in Las Vegas. [4] On October 31,2022,Williams announced that the song would be released four days later,which was however delayed by two weeks for unknown reasons. [5]
Over funk-led production from Williams,Scott sings:"I told shawty to bring the wave / You know life's a beach / She said,'Life's a bitch' / Let’s hit Magic City". [6] The "spooky production" includes "sly,retro synths",Scott name-drops celebrities from the city of Atlanta in the state of Georgia,while he also boasts about the expensive cars he owns. [7] Jason Lipshutz of Billboard felt that Scott "mixes zonked-out warbling with tales of luxury and fills each line with his larger-than-life persona –while the multi-hyphenate focuses on making each drum-and-synth interaction tingle the listener's senses".
