"Gone, Gone / Thank You" is a song by American rapper Tyler, the Creator from his fifth studio album Igor (2019). It features background vocals from American singer CeeLo Green. The song contains excerpts from "Hey Girl" by Cullen Omori of Smith Westerns and interpolations from "Fragile" by Tatsuro Yamashita.

Background

Tyler, the Creator produced the beat and had the idea for the song in 2013 while on tour for his album Wolf. He chose not to use the song for Cherry Bomb or Flower Boy since he felt it did not fit either of these albums.[1]

Composition and lyrics

Randall Roberts of Los Angeles Times called the style of the song "hallucinatory beat music",[2] while Adam Turner-Heffer of Under the Radar described it as reminiscent of OutKast.[3] The song contains acoustic guitars[4] and a "multi-layered falsetto chorus", which Sputnikmusic's Rowan5215 commented "somehow sounds like Brian Wilson working with BROCKHAMPTON".[5] In the first part, Tyler, the Creator addresses his lover, who has left him for a female partner whom Tyler believes he is better than,[6] and also blames himself for the end of their relationship.[7] He shifts his tone in the second part, in which he thanks his former partner for the love and joy from their past relationship[6] and declares he never wants to fall in love again,[7] in a "cheerfully delivered" refrain despite his sadness.[8]

Critical reception

Nick Rosebade of Clash gave a positive review of the song, considering it "standout track" from Igor and stating it "shows that Tyler is capable of writing dazzling pop."[4] Dean Van Nguyen of The Guardian commented the repetition of the lyrics "my love is gone" in the song "comes off as perfunctory."[9] In an album review, Steven Edelstone of Paste regarded the song (along with "Are We Still Friends?") as "way-too-long", adding that they "play like tracks that missed the cut for Flower Boy, tracks that feel a bit too like sketches that were never fully fleshed out."[10]
