“Mask Off” serves as a “rags-to-riches” story that explores the surface of Future’s past, from trapping to living a life of luxury. The slow and syrupy production by Metro Boomin samples the 1976 song, “Prison Song” by Tommy Butler, which featured Carlton Williams.
The song went on to become one of Future’s highest-charting singles ever, peaking at #5 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song is also certified 8X platinum by the RIAA.
The song also spawned the #MaskOffChallenge, which participants dance and play instruments to the song. It was a huge factor in the song’s popularity.
“Mask Off” was released along with the rest of FUTURE on February 17, 2017. It was later re-released as the album’s second single after it started receiving more popularity than “Draco,” the album’s lead single.
A remix featuring Kendrick Lamar was released on May 23, 2017, and a Marshmello remix was released on June 16, 2017.
The song’s official music video was released on May 4, 2017, and two weeks later, on May 23, 2017, a remix featuring Kendrick Lamar was released.
