Interesting facts and trivia about BUTTERFLY EFFECT. By Songfacts®.

The 'butterfly effect' is the notion in chaos theory that a small difference in the initial state of a physical system can have large effects. The term was coined by meteorologist and mathematician Edward Lorenz as the title of a talk he delivered at the 139th meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in 1972: Predictability: Does the flap of a butterfly's wings in Brazil set off a tornado in Texas?

The title does not feature in this song's lyrics. However the track gives us insights into the benefits of Travis Scott's luxurious lifestyle, the causes of which he claims are preordained in the similar fashion to a tornado being influenced by the flapping of a distant butterfly's wings. For this life I cannot change Hidden Hills, deep off in remains Travis references throughout the song how his life has changed since becoming famous. This includes driving in his drop-top through the Hidden Hills, an exclusive Los Angeles community, which is home to numerous actors and celebrities.

"Butterfly Effect" features production by Drake collaborator Murda Beatz, who has previously worked with Travis on songs like "Sweet Sweet" and "Outside" from the rapper's 2016 album Birds in the Trap Sing McKnight. He also produced much of the Travis Scott and Quavo collaboration record Huncho Jack, Jack Huncho.
