THE PLAN

"The Plan" is the lead song from the soundtrack of Christopher Nolan's movie Tenet. The filmmaker described the Auto-Tune-heavy song in an early July 2020 interview with GQ's Gerrick D. Kennedy as "the final piece of a yearlong puzzle."

When Scott played the track to Kennedy, the interviewer said it sounds like a "brain-liquefying trip through time and space." Certainly, the Texan rapper's opaque lyrics tie in with the movie's mind-bending, time-tinkering plot about preventing World War III.

Scott wrote the song with the track's two producers: Composer and longtime Childish Gambino collaborator Ludwig Göransson, who worked on Tenet's score and soundtrack. Canadian producer WondaGurl, whose previous Travis Scott collaborations include "Antidote," "Can't Say," and "No Bystanders."
