It was released by Epic Records on May 15, 2017, as the lead single from Scott's third studio album, 'Astroworld' (2018). The song was written by Scott with Canadian producers Murda Beatz and Felix Leone. BackgroundDuring a performance in Portsmouth, Virginia on May 4, 2017, Scott hinted at the release of new music in a freestyle. Scott can be heard saying: "Dropping new music in a few days. Bout to go crazy for a few days." The song was released alongside two other songs from Scott on SoundCloud, including "A Man" and "Green & Purple", which featured American rapper Playboi Carti. ReceptionLawrence Burney of 'Vice' magazine said: "'Butterfly Effect' is textbook slurred Scott number, with backing vocals that sounds eerily similar to Migos' 'Slippery.'" Madeline Roth of MTV said the song is "hazy" and "low-key". Similarly, Tom Breihan of 'Stereogum' said: "'Butterfly Effect' is low-key and melodic, with some sharp production from Drake collaborator Murda Beatz." "Butterfly Effect" debuted at number 99 on the US 'Billboard' Hot 100 on the week of June 17, 2017, and peaked at number 50 following the release of 'Astroworld'. The single was certified quadruple platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for combined sales and streaming equivalent units of 4,000,000 units in the United States.
