"South of France" is a song by American rapperFuture. It was released throughWilburn Holding Co andEpic Records as the eleventh track from his seventeenth mixtape,Mixtape Pluto, on September 20, 2024. Future wrote the song with producersWheezy,Southside, and Carlton. He released a remix in collaboration with fellow American rapper and singerTravis Scott on November 1, 2024, which was when the song became the second and final single from the mixtape after being added to a reissued version of it.
On September 6, 2024, Scott took toTwitter to tease a snippet of the song through a video of him on a yacht with Future, producerSouthside, and fellow American rapperLil Baby.[1] However, when the song was released exactly two weeks later as part ofMixtape Pluto, Scott was not a part of the song. On October 29, 2024, Future announced that he would be releasing a remix that in collaboration with Scott three days later. (Future Twitter) Scott adds a verse to the song along with some background vocals before it ends with another chorus by Future.[2]
ReviewingMixtape Pluto, Gabriel Bras Nevares ofHotNewHipHop commented that Future "stretches himself out on 'SOUTH OF FRANCE' without losing control of the wheel".[3] Writing forPitchfork, Paul A. Thompson cited "South of France" as "the clearest example" for which "the beats onMixtape Pluto (led by Southside andWheezy, though numerous tracks have two or more co-producers) offer a new way forward for Future by tying together disparate threads from his early career" and further described it as "a wistful but anvil-heavy missive that locates the intersection of "Bugatti" and "U.O.E.N.O.," marrying808 Mafia-style maximalism to the slyer, woozier style that competed with it for airtime in the early 2010s".
