Background

On July 19, 2025, Frank announced that, while in a skateboarding accident, and had suffered from multiple back fractures.[1][2] After noticing a comment on social media asking how he would make music with the injury, he was inspired to record and produce a song themed around the back fracture, while on his hospital bed, resulting in the songs "Lemonade" and "God's Got My Back".[3][4][5] Frank teased the songs online, and within three hours, it received several million views, later achieving over 42 million views.[6] Seeing the song's success, he released "Lemonade" on August 1, 2025.[7][8][9]

Writing and production

Running for three minutes and three seconds, "Lemonade" is composed in the key of E major with a speed of 118 beats per minute and a time signature of 4
4.[12] The song was written by Frank, and The Figs members Bailey Gillen and Micah Yoder. Frank, Gillen, and Yoder produced, while Jacob "Biz" Morris engineered.[13] Frank spoke about the song's inspiration, stating,[14]

Following God is kind of hilarious because I’m feeling thankful for my back breaking? Just a few years ago, I was depressed and at the end of myself... now I have 24/7 access to unspeakable joy in every circumstance! Drugs don’t do this, money can’t do this, nothing else…only Jesus.

The song demonstrates the genres of pop, rock, and contemporary Christian.[15]
