“Forrest Gump” is the sixteenth and penultimate track on Frank Ocean’s debut album, Channel ORANGE. The song makes considerable reference to the 1994 comedy-drama film Forrest Gump. Frank wrote this song from the perspective of Forrest Gump’s love interest, Jenny. This song serves as a metaphor for the feelings Frank still harbors for his first love, the man he wrote about in his Tumblr post. He performed “Forrest Gump” at the 55th Annual Grammy Awards in 2013.
