Here are the hints
Calvin Harris dropped before the release:
Frank Ocean, who released his first independent albums
Endless last year, can be heard crooning "Do you slide on all your nights like this?/ Do you try on all your nights like this?" in
Slide. The track starts like: "I might empty my bank account/And buy that boy a wooden pipe/Buy that boy a wooden pipe/I might, I might." Migo's member Offset raps, "Swallow the bottle while I sit back and smoke gelato/ Walk in my mansion 20 thousand paintin' Picasso."
Slide is Calvin's first release of 2017. Before this, in September last year the Scottish record producer released
My Way, a rare track where he sings, which he hadn't done since his 2014 hit,
Summer.
