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.
