On 21 February 2017, Harris announced "Slide", a collaboration with American singer Frank Ocean and American rap group Migos. Ocean, Harris and Migos are credited with featured vocals and songwriting credits, while production is handled solely by Harris. The song was released on 23 February 2017. It is the second single from Harris' upcoming album, after 2016's "My Way". It is Ocean's first collaboration since leaving Def Jam, as Harris' liner notes of "Slide" list Ocean as an independent artist, appearing courtesy of himself. It is Migos' first collaboration with both Ocean and Harris.

"Slide" is a "sultry, piano-tipped grooving song" featuring handclap-styled beats and pitched background vocals. The song begins with the verses sung by Ocean in a distorted voice: "I might/Empty my bank account/And buy that Boy with a Pipe." Referring to the lyric, Ocean explains that it is an allusion to: "A Picasso painting that sold for so much money." The Picasso in question is Garçon à la pipe, painted during the artist's Rose Period, which was auctioned off for $104 million at Sotheby's in 2004. Elsewhere in the song, Migos' Offset raps, "Swallow the bottle while I sit back and smoke gelato/ Walk in my mansion 20 thousand paintin' Picasso/ Bitches be dippin', dabbin' with niggas like a nacho/ Take off her panties, diamonds dancin' like Rick Ricardo."
