Creation

"Flamingo" contains a number of voice samples, including "trembling lips", purring, clearing throats, and even what sounds like fragments of a conversation, such as "ah, yep". Initially, Yonezu created up to the first chorus in a simple, minimalist form with just bass, a kick drum and snare, but felt that after he added voices the song was complete. Yonezu was also influenced by recalling things from when he had been drinking. The song is told from the perspective of a pleasure-seeking person.[1]
