"Escape Plan" is a song by American rapper and singer Travis Scott. It was released on November 5, 2021, concurrently with another single, "Mafia", which are both a part of a conjoined single titled Escape Plan / Mafia.[1] The song was produced by Oz and Nik D.[2]
Background[edit]
On June 24, 2021, Spotify previewed a snippet of "Escape Plan" in an advertisement for the company.[3] Exactly one month later, on July 24, 2021, Scott previewed a snippet of the song and its music video and performed a portion of it at Rolling Loud in Miami, Florida, that same night.[4] On October 30, 2021, Scott performed the song again at Rolling Loud, this time in Brooklyn, New York, also previewing a new and extended verse.[5] Scott announced the release of new music on November 4, 2021, the day before "Escape Plan" and "Mafia" were released.[6]
Music video[edit]
A music video for "Escape Plan" premiered on November 5, 2021, twelve hours after the release of the song.[7] It was directed by Scott himself alongside Tyler Ross and Eliel Ford. The video starts with Scott listening to the song in his car. He then sings from the top of a hill with a security team and guard dogs surrounding him. The next scene sees him taking a Louis Vuitton briefcase and going on a jet before riding an ATV and a motorboat. Finally, he goes with his friends to a party.[8]
