Background and composition
The song's title refers to
Critical reception
"Yosemite" received positive reviews from critics, with a majority of the praise going towards Gunna's appearance (the song's chorus) and the song's guitar sample that is evident in most of his songs. Despite mostly positive reviews, the original mix to Nav's vocals (the song's outro) was heavily criticized for being too quiet and poorly mixed, to which Nav himself poked fun at.[5][6][7]
Chart performance
"Yosemite" debuted and peaked at number 25 on the US
Music video
The official music video for the song, directed by Nabil Elderkin, was released on November 30, 2018. In the video, a young Scott is seen looking for Astroworld through a dense jungle. The kid's journey to find the theme park is a symbolic representation of the artist's rise to fame and the commercial success that came with creating, or "finding", his third studio album, Astroworld. Gunna also appears in the video with the adult Scott on a plane as they perform the song. However, Nav does not appear in the video.[10][11]
