Background

[edit]

In February 2013, Tyga announced during an interview that the second official single from the album would be titled "For the Road", and feature frequent collaborator Chris Brown.^[2] Tyga said the song has the same feeling as their hit "Deuces".^[3] The song is produced by Lil C and was premiered on March 25. The song was then released for digital download on April 4, 2013 along with the pre-order for the album.^[4] On May 14, 2013 the song was released to Rhythmic contemporary radio along with the third single "Show You".^[5]

Critical response

[edit]

It was panned by PopMatters: "Likewise, "For the Road" (formerly "Fuck for the Road") is such an utter clash of lowbrow concept and pre-teen shine that Chris Brown ought to have been paired with a more ludicrous rapper in the Lil BoosieorBusta Rhymes mold.."^[6]

Music video

[edit]

The music video for "For the Road" was filmed on April 21, 2013, and was directed by Colin Tilley.^[7] The music video premiered on MTV Jams on May 19, 2013.^[8]
