"Location" is the debut single by American singer Khalid. It was released on February 19, 2017, by Right Hand Music Group and RCA Records as the lead single from his debut studio album American Teen. The track was produced by Syk Sense, Tunji Ige, and Chris McClenney, with additional production from Smash David, Alfredo Gonzalez, and Taz Taylor. The song was certified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and was recorded at Beacon Hill Recording Studios.
While talking about the song in an interview with Pigeons & Planes, Khalid expressed his passion of the song's beat:
"Location" is a song that came to me out of no where. From the first time I heard the beat play, the words flew out. Hearing the chords instantly took me the first stage of a relationship. Young love, man. It’s a crazy thing. I first started making music in the winter of 2015 so this is one of my most developed songs so far."
The song's accompanying music video premiered on September 26, 2016, on Khalid's Vevo account on YouTube and was directed by Alex Di Marco. As of August 21, 2017, the music video has over 100 million views.
