Songfacts®:

  • "Options" is all about choice. Jordan Adetunji and a woman both find themselves surrounded by potential partners, the freedom to explore endless possibilities. But despite all those tempting options, they choose each other in the end.
  • Enter Lil Baby, who drops in with a guest verse that echoes the song's theme. His rhymes dance around the idea that when he's with his girl, nobody else matters.
  • Adetunji and Lil Baby first crossed paths outside Coco at a Travis Scott-hosted event, of all places. Adetunji told BBC Radio 1's Jack Saunders that Lil Baby approached him and said, "Bro, we gotta do something." Adetunji was ready with a song in hand, and Baby responded with two verses.
  • Adetunji and Lil Baby wrote the song with dance singer-songwriter Clementine Douglas and the track's producers, Chase & Status, Danny Casio, J Rick, and Villa Beatz. The song incorporates a similar bass drum pattern to Adetunji's previous single, "Kehlani," but different melodies.
  • Adetunji made "Options" around the same time as "Kehlani," so it has that same vibe. "I thought great. Let's drop this now before I move on to the next stuff," he told Jack Saunders. "Because the next stuff is a whole elevation. And I wanted to give still a last touch of 'Kehlani' before we go into the next stuff."
