"Dogtooth" is a song written, produced, and performed by American rapper and producer Tyler, the Creator, released on March 27, 2023, as the lead single (third overall) from The Estate Sale deluxe version of his album Call Me If You Get Lost. The song features DJ Drama with ad-libs.
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.
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" and "heartfelt" tone, celebrating love and complemented by rich, soulful production. As with prior videos released for the album, it ends with the titular jingle; Tyler adds "The Estate Sale" in closing.
