He was born on October 28, 1987 and lived in Long Beach, California. He has helped pen tracks for Justin Bieber, John Legend, Brandy, and Beyoncé over the last few years. In 2011, Ocean released his debut mixtape, Nostalgia, Ultra, for free via his Tumblr..

Venting about his decision to drop the record his own way, he took to Twitter on March 1, 2011:

"i. did. this. not ISLAND DEF JAM. that's why you see no label logo on the artwork that I DID. guess its my fault for trusting my dumbass lawyer and signing my career over to a failing company. fuck Def Jam & any company that goes the length of signing a kid with dreams & talent w/ no intention of following through. fuck em. now back to my day. i want some oatmeal and toast. brunch swag."

As a member of the Odd Future (OFWGKTA) collective, his sound is distinctively soulful/r&b influenced, yet done in a way that could pass for something totally different. As Tyler, the Creator states, “It’s Smooth Ass Music About Bitches, Relationships And Being A Rich Young Nigga…But In A Swagged Out Way.”

Ocean was evacuated from the University of New Orleans to Los Angeles, California just as Hurricane Katrina hit in August 2005, and stayed in Los Angeles to pursue a music career. Ocean joined Los Angeles based collective OFWGKTA, who he met through mutual friends, at the end of 2009. In the end of 2009, he met Tricky Stewart, who helped Ocean sign a contract with Def Jam Recordings as an artist, however, he was initially unable to build a relationship with the company. In 2010, he changed his name from Christopher "Lonny" Breaux to Christopher Francis Ocean via a legal website. In an April 2011 interview, Ocean intimated that his relationship with Def Jam has strengthened since the release of his mixtape. On April 28, 2011, Ocean was arrested on unspecified charges by the LAPD, and was released on the morning after on April 29, 2011. Ocean joined his OFWGKTA bandmates for the first time on tour from May 12 to May 19, 2011. On May 31, 2011, Def Jam released the single Novacane on iTunes soon followed by Swim Good Taken from his mixtape Nostalgia, ULTRA. His first 'proper' album, Channel Orange was released on July 17, 2012.

In 2016, he released the visual album Endless alongside his second studio album Blonde, following several years of delays. Blonde debuted at number one in the United States and United Kingdom.

In 2017, Ocean released several singles, including Chanel and Lens, through his Blonded Radio show, and made several appearances on other songs by artists like Calvin Harris, A$AP Mob, and Tyler, the Creator.

So Comfortable
Frank Ocean Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I’m afraid to say it
Don’t want you to think I’m playing
My mistakes take the pretentiousness down like I’m standing naked
Hear the crowd and I sorry I know that I’m wrong yeah I’m wrong
If I could id go back I’m exposed give me back my clothes cuz I just can’t take it
But look at you, loving a fool, making it easy
I guess its cool naked with you already seen me

O you got me so comfortable
Even when I’m wrong, comfortable
You don’t mind them flaws, you’ve already seen them all
Still got me feeling so comfortable
Feeling so comfortable
(mumbing “so comfortable”)

You keep on forgiving
We wrote all of my mistakes in pencil
When you stay it makes me forget that I’m down, now it’s all so simple
Till the end, even when, I look dumb like I do when I lie
Feels so good letting go I’m exposed, you can have my clothes cuz I’m not afraid to
Look at you loving a fool, making it easy
I guess it’s cool naked with you already seen me

(Course)

It don’t matter it don’t matter no, you’ve seen it all before
It don’t matter it don’t matter, you’ve seen it all before
It don’t matter it don’t matter no, you’ve seen it all before
So comfortable, so comfortable, so comfortable

(Course)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Frank Ocean's "So Comfortable" are about vulnerability and feeling exposed in front of someone you care about. The singer is admitting to making mistakes and feeling foolish, but finds comfort in the fact that the other person doesn't judge them for it. The line "My mistakes take the pretentiousness down like I’m standing naked" is a powerful metaphor for the way that being open and honest can strip away the superficial parts of a person's personality, leaving only the raw truth behind. The chorus repeats the phrase "You got me so comfortable," emphasizing how important it is to feel accepted and loved for who you truly are.

The second verse continues with the theme of forgiveness and acceptance. The singer acknowledges that they make mistakes, but the other person doesn't hold it against them. They mention writing mistakes in pencil, which is a symbol for the ability to erase and start over again. This ties back into the idea of being vulnerable and exposed, but feeling safe and comfortable in the presence of someone who accepts you unconditionally.

Overall, "So Comfortable" is a beautiful ode to the power of vulnerability and love. It's a reminder that we all make mistakes and have flaws, but that it's possible to find someone who loves us anyway.
