Eager fans managed to break into Frank Ocean’s vault and leak several unreleased songs. Most recently, an Instagram page called OCD VS THE WORLD shared an unreleased song from the Blonde era along with the lyrics to the record. Apparently, the song, titled “These Days,” was reportedly purchased for $6,200 from a leaker. However, it seems like some of the lyrics weren’t actually accurate.
Frank slipped in the comment sections with a few corrections. “Told you I would put your figure near my lung heart was racing on a rush was it fun when it was fun jaw clenching on a tablet I was numb armored windows don’t roll down like factory ones I don’t drink but what I’m thinking give me buzz give me buzz,” he wrote. “You say fuck me then go fuck her but you blush got priorities in life that I disrupt so back to turning my 8 figures up back to turning lil figures up if I’m on it I’ll see 10 when I’m young .. young.”

Genius reports that the song was actually pressed on vinyl and sent out to 10 people as a replacement for “Little Demon.” However, his team opted out of sharing the song on vinyl and instead, delivered 2016’s Endless. Will the song ever see an official release? At this point, it seems unlikely but fortunately, there are promising signs that a new album is on the way. Despite Ocean’s shaky appearance at Coachella, he did reveal that he’s working on new music.
“t’s been so long. Everybody talks about how long it’s been. ‘It’s been so long, it’s been so long.’ But I have missed you,” he said. “I want to talk about why I’m here, because it’s not because of a new album. It’s because — not that there’s not a new album… but there’s not right now. Chill, chill, chill. No, it’s not right now.” He went on to honor his brother, Ryan Breaux, who passed away in a car crash in 2020.
