 The opening track " Start " is a snippet of ambient sounds , bits of silence , and flickers of noise , including a PlayStation booting up . The low @-@ key torch song " Thinkin Bout You " features soothing synth cycles , sparse keyboards , muffled electronic percussion , and lyrics addressing a lover with white lies in the verses and thoughts of eternal love in the chorus . " Fertilizer " is based on James Fauntleroy II 's 2010 song of the same name , repurposed on the album as an AM radio jingle and interlude about " bullshit " . " Sierra Leone " incorporates chillwave and quiet storm styles , wind chime sounds , lo @-@ fi beats , and polyphony similar to Prince 's 1985 song " Paisley Park " . Its lyrics address sex , conception , early parenthood , and childhood dreams . It recounts the narrator 's lust for a girl as a teenager , and compares their relationship to the vicissitudes of Sierra Leone such as diamonds and civil war . Ocean 's singing exhibits quickly descending chord succession and is overdubbed against his spoken vocals .
