Background and release
edit
"Me Rehúso" was written by Ocean, It opens "stealthily", with a pair of synthesizers that "vies for one's attention". Their interlocking pattern barely changes, allowing the song to maintain an illusion of stasis. Then, a lone sampled hand drum sound is added around the 40-second mark and a whiff of a reggaeton beat right before one minute has passed; suddenly, Ocean sings in a hungry, scratchy register and multi-tracking his own voice, "transforming his sleek, bare-bones instrumental into a vehicle for a crushing expression of heartache".[ 5]
