Background

On March 27, 2023, Tyler tweeted that his 2021 album Call Me If You Get Lost was his first album where he had many songs that did not make it onto the official release of the project. He said "some of those songs I really love, and knew they would never see the light of day, so Ive decided to put a few of them out[ sic ]." Dogtooth was released the same day, as the lead single for the deluxe version of Call Me If You Get Lost. [2]

Music video

The music video has been described by The Fader as having a "Wes Anderson-meets-Billionaire Boys Club" theme. In the video, Tyler showcases opulent and sophisticated style, as he is seen walking expensive dogs, employing a crane to demolish several Rolls-Royce vehicles, and performing driving stunts. While the video is filled with these displays of extravagance, the accompanying song features a tender, heartfelt tone, celebrating love and complemented by rich, soulful production. [3] As with prior videos released for the album, it ends with the titular jingle; Tyler adds “The Estate Sale” in closing.
