It was released on 30 September 2016, by Universal Music, Polydor and Anchor Point Records, as the second single for his self-titled debut album. Recording and background Crossan said about the recording of "Lovesick": "The first thing he [ASAP Rocky] said was that it made him feel really tropical, like he was in Ibiza or something and I was like, 'OK let's roll with that'. But then I said to him that it was about being stupid and feeling lovesick and hanging over a girl and he brought that to it as well. It was super fun, it was wild, we hung out, smoked cigarettes, talked about fashion and Tame Impala." Composition "Lovesick" is a vocal version of a previous instrumental track titled "Lovesick Fuck", which was released in his debut EP 'Someday Somewhere'. Crossan said that "the track originally was about sex and how I was feeling after a particularly empty encounter with a friend told through a kind of twisted-pop, calypso, hip hop dance track". Rachel Aroesti of 'The Guardian' called the original instrumental "jazzy" and "tropical". Jon Pareles wrote for 'The New York Times' that the song is "built on a Caribbean-tinged beat and a four-bar loop of a piano that soon switches its sound to steel drums". Collin Robinson of Stereogum opined that "Rocky injects the bouncy percussion and steel-drummed Caribbean vibes with some steez". 'Rap-Up' described the song as "soulful and electronic, calypso-tinged, rap-infused". Eve Barlow of Pitchfork called it "airhorn-assisted calypso". Critical reception El Hunt of 'DIY' said: "No revolutionary new angles come from this guest spot, but it's a statement of intent all the same". Remixes and samples The song has been remixed by Four Tet and Mumdance.
