Lirik dan Makna “pick up the phone”, Lagu Collab Young Thug, Travis Scott, dan Quavo yang Kembali Viral

Hot 97

"pick up the phone" lahir dari kolaborasi unik antara Young Thug dan Quavo, dengan Starrah yang menyanyikan hook lagu. Travis Scott ikut berkontribusi saat berada di studio, menulis bridge yang awalnya sempat dinyanyikan olehnya sendiri. Lagu ini sempat menjadi bahan perdebatan, karena Travis memutar versi yang telah diubah di klub sebelum merilisnya di SoundCloud, meski kemudian disepakati sebagai single bersama di iTunes. Lagu ini muncul sebagai bonus track di mixtape Young Thug Jeffery dan sebagai lagu ke-11 di album Travis Scott Birds in the Trap Sing McKnight, dirilis pada 15 September 2016.

Young Thug, Travis Scott, dan Quavo adalah tiga artis besar yang berkolaborasi dalam “pick up the phone.” Young Thug dikenal dengan gaya vokal eksentrik dan mixtape hits seperti 1017 Thug, Travis Scott menggabungkan hip-hop tradisional dengan lo-fi dan ambient lewat album seperti 'Astroworld', sementara Quavo, frontman Migos, terkenal dengan kemampuan rap dan produksi yang matang melalui hits solo maupun kolaborasinya.

Genius

Secara tematik, lagu ini menceritakan frustrasi Travis, Thug, dan Quavo terhadap seorang perempuan yang menolak membalas perhatian mereka. Meski mereka ingin setia, cinta mereka tidak berbalas. Lagu ini mengangkat konflik asmara modern dengan nuansa “hotline” tapi lebih gelap dan emosional, menonjolkan ketegangan dan rasa kecewa.

Musik lagu ini mengusung trap gothic dengan perpaduan synth ala steel drum, bass berat, dan autotune khas Travis Scott. Produksi oleh Frank Dukes dan Vinylz menciptakan atmosfer dingin, dramatis, dan emosional. Ending lagu menampilkan sintesis kompleks yang menghadirkan sensasi seperti organ elektrik, menjadikannya pengalaman audio yang unik bagi pendengar.
