Two singles from Call Me If You Get Lost had already been released: “LUMBERJACK,†a braggadocios bop; and “WUSYANAME,†a flirtier affair.

Billboards popped up in Los Angeles, London, Paris, Berlin, Stockholm, Amsterdam, Sydney, Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver with a phone number and a message from Tyler: “Call Me If You Get Lost.†Calling the number would go to a voicemail with the track “MOMMA TALK.â€
Call Me If You Get Lost features performances from DJ Drama, 42 Dugg, YoungBoy Never Broke Again, Ty Dolla $ign, Lil Wayne, Teezo Touchdown, Domo Genesis, Brent Faiyaz, Dana Hues, DAISY WORLD, Lil Uzi Vert, and Pharrell Williams.
