The theme of the song is Lil Dicky (left) swapping bodies with Chris Brown (right) .

In the song the artists comically take up the concept of the novel that goes by the same name, swapping their bodies, namely the one of a charismatic and controversial superstar (Chris Brown), and the one of an emerging artist with a basic life (Lil Dicky).

In the song Dicky is euphoric waking up as Brown, and rejoices because he is rich, handsome, famous, surrounded by beautiful girls and able to sing and dance. Going crazy off his euphoria he calls Kanye West to tell him that he is his biggest fan, and then he realizes that he has a daughter. Meanwhile, Brown in Dicky's body is dissatisfied with the mediocrity of his life, but he's pleased by the fact that no one judges him in a racist way, due to him being African American, or due to his past controversies. Subsequently Dicky in Brown's body starts to get too exited, being exalted by his sexual performances, decides to publicly post photos of his penis on the Internet, and when the real Chris Brown sees them, he starts looking desperately for him, finding him at the VIP table of a nightclub. He gets angry and threatens him, but Dicky warns him that beating him would only mean hurting himself, making him realize that he doesn't want to, because he loves himself, that being the key for both to go back into each others' bodies. [13]

Critical reception

"Freaky Friday" received a mixed response from music critics. HotNewHipHop praised the song for having "one of the funniest concept in a while", calling it "undeniably hilarious". [14] Vibe complimented the duo's chemistry on the song, and its humor. [15] The Michigan Daily commented that "sonically, “Freaky Friday” is extremely basic, with a thin chord progression and beat akin to last year’s hackneyed hit, “I’m the One.” The track is much more entertaining when paired with the elaborate and extended music video, the driving force behind the growing popularity of the new single." [16] The Outline criticized it of being "racial harmony sold by two unfunny, clueless narcissists". [17] Pitchfork called it "arguably the worst hip-hop hit of the 2010s". [18] The Ringer wrote positively of the track: "while Lil Dicky is still fishing for the same easy laughs that he has been for years, he is now going all in on the kind of satirical rap that has earned groups like the Lonely Island, or even Weird Al Yankovic, a legitimate level of respect. Frankly, it works." [19] Stereogum deemed the song as "humorous, catchy, and contagiously fun", saying it features a "gold-plated hook sung by Brown and impeccable if unremarkable pop-rap production". [20] Vice commented "although comedy and punchlines are needed in rap bars, this was done in poor taste." [21]

The music video, along with the lyrical content of the song itself, takes its concept from the 2003 movie Freaky Friday , and features cameos from Jimmy Tatro, Ed Sheeran, DJ Khaled and Kendall Jenner. [22] The music video was shot in late 2017, and directed by Tony Yacenda. It was released on March 15, 2018, one week following the release of the song. [23]

Synopsis

The video shows Lil Dicky at a Chinese restaurant, similar to the 2003 film, Freaky Friday, where a character is at a Chinese restaurant and wishes she was somebody else. In the music video, Lil Dicky is approached by a fan, played by Jimmy Tatro, who mentions he is a fan of his work. He then says to his girlfriend, who is standing next to him, that he is a "funny rapper", not a serious rapper. Lil Dicky then says to himself he wishes he was somebody who has credibility, and is considered to be cool. The camera then pans to Chris Brown on television, that mentions that because the stress caused by his fame, he wishes he was somebody else as well. The Chinese waiter takes note of it, and gives Lil Dicky a fortune cookie. The video then shows Lil Dicky waking up in Chris Brown's body, and vice versa. The video illustrates the two in each other's bodies the following days, following the song's lyrical storyline. Towards the end, the two are about to fight, and they realize they shouldn't, instead they should embrace each other, being one in the other's body. Then this realization set them back to their original form. The video then ends with cameos from Ed Sheeran, DJ Khaled and Kendall Jenner, where Lil Dicky is then in possession in all of their bodies.

Controversy

Shortly after the song's release, the Virginia Tech Hokies women's lacrosse team was scrutinized after members of the team uploaded a video of themselves singing along to Chris Brown's verse, where he (supposedly as Lil Dicky in his body) starts saying "What up my nigga" to everyone he encounters. Virginia Tech coach John Sung later apologized on behalf of the team, saying it was a "teachable moment" for the players and that "no malice was involved... They just thought they were just singing along to a song". [24] [25] [26]
