The song has since debuted on the UK R&B Chart at number 31. The music video was directed by Nabil Elderkin and featured an orange car with an atmospheric background. The song was featured in a teaser for Ocean's then-upcoming album and was released with a cover that featured The Simpsons style characters. The song received highly positive reviews and was called epic in nature by several publications, who praised the ambition and scope of the track's length, along with the lyrical merit. The track lyrically contains several extended metaphors referencing Cleopatra, pyramids, and strip clubs. The song explores a narrative of a pimp falling in love with one of his clients. On June 7, 2012, Ocean posted a small teaser video featuring a snippet of the song onto his Tumblr account, and released the full, nearly 10-minute song later that day onto his official SoundCloud account. The track features an uncredited guitar solo from singer John Mayer. The song was written by Ocean and produced by Malay and Om'Mas Keith. "Pyramids" is a song by American singer Frank Ocean, released as the second single from his debut studio album Channel Orange (2012).
