Interesting facts and trivia about Ivy. By Songfacts®.

This song finds Frank Ocean mulling over a breakup caused by mistakes by both partners. Though he is consumed by heartbreak and pain, Ocean asserts the relationship had been worthwhile.

Ocean originally debuted an early draft of the song live during a Munich set in June 2013. It was subsequently immortalized through grainy fan-shot video footage.

The song was produced by Rostam Batmanglij, formerly of Vampire Weekend and Jamie xx, who is a member of the London-based band The xx. Rostam recalled to Billboard magazine: "As soon as he played me 'Ivy' in its original form, I had a vision for what it could sound like."
