Calvin Harris ft. Frank Ocean & Migos
“Slide”
- The term “slide" is slang for engaging in a no-strings-attached sexual act. In the song, Ocean is questioning the behavior of the girl wondering if she wants to slide in someone's life just for their affluent lifestyle.
- The song’s famous high pitched vocal opening line is a reference to a painting by Picasso. Ocean is actually saying “I might empty my bank account and buy that boy with a pipe, i might.” It implies that Ocean wants to buy the 1905 Pablo Picasso painting, Boy with a Pipe, that was sold in auction for 104 million dollars!
