“A lot of people are like ‘Oh, what’s going on here?’ I produced and wrote mostly 90% of it,” he told Colbert. “It’s a few melodies that I didn’t come up with … It’s more so that I just wanted to produce and have people sing. And that’s all I want to listen to.

“So, I kinda didn’t want to rap a lot on it. So I kept all my rap verses short. And everything I said, I made sure it was really ridiculously important. And I think that’s what people kinda like about it this time around – because it’s nothing funny on it.”

Tyler later performed the ‘Flower Boy’ track ‘911’ with the help of Steve Lacy – watch a clip of the performance and the aforementioned interview below.
