Background
In June 2021, various
billboards would appear in locations around Los Angeles with the phrase "Call Me if You Get Lost" written on them, as well as a phone number, which upon being called, plays a voicemail of a conversation between Tyler and his mother. A week later, Tyler released a short clip titled "Side Street" to social media, which was followed by the release of "Lumberjack", alongside its self-directed
music video , two days later on June 16.

Music video
The music video, directed by Tyler (who is credited as his alter ego Wolf Haley), was released along with the single on June 16.
[6] The video opens with Tyler lounging in his bed reading a magazine. He then receives a phone call which makes him spring out of bed and begin rapping. The video cuts to scenes of him getting a manicure while laughing with his nail technician and him wearing face prosthetics in a tuxedo. The closing scene is of Tyler rapping in the middle of a blizzard, ending with the Call Me If You Get Lost jingle.
