Genius Annotation

The fifth track off of Frank Ocean’s full length debut, channel ORANGE, “Sweet Life” provides a reflective look into the effects of wealth.

In the song, Frank explores the idea of how money and wealth “numbs” people to the problems of the outside world. Frank ironically asks, “why see the world when you got the beach?” to challenge those who live in excess to escape their bubble and acknowledge the struggles of people less fortunate than them.
