Pitt, who revealed in a past interview that [his post-divorce playlist included lots of Frank tunes](http://time.com/4764906/brad-pitt-breakup-playlist/ "undefined") to which Frank responded by wearing [a shirt with Pitt’s photogenic visage on it at a concert](http://time.com/4814955/frank-ocean-brad-pitt-bromance/ "undefined"), sat on the stage, appearing to talk on a telephone while Ocean sang his song “Closer to You,” [an homage to Stevie Wonder’s live performance of the Carpenters’ “Close to You” and the Jackson 5’s “Never Can Say Goodbye.”](http://djbooth.net/news/entry/2016-08-25-frank-ocean-closer-to-you "undefined") As if that weren’t enough cultural clout crowded into one perfect performance, director Spike Jonze was on deck to film the whole thing. Catch all the feelings by watching the full clip below. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4870918/frank-ocean-sings-to-brad-pitt-fyf-festival/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4870918/frank-ocean-sings-to-brad-pitt-fyf-festival/"},"headline":"Find Someone to Serenade You Like Frank Ocean Romantically Singing for Brad Pitt","datePublished":"2017-07-24T16:00:54.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:45:35.863Z","description":"The bromance of our dreams","url":"https://time.com/4870918/frank-ocean-sings-to-brad-pitt-fyf-festival/","keywords":["Newsfeed","celebrities","Music","viral","entertainment","Brad Pitt","Frank Ocean"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt131d02418b16d544/6988d6e597cdff31716b1b83/frank-ocean-sings-to-brad-pitt-at-fyf-festival.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Cady Lang","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/cady-lang/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt131d02418b16d544/6988d6e597cdff31716b1b83/frank-ocean-sings-to-brad-pitt-at-fyf-festival.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Parklife Festival 2017","caption":"Parklife Festival 2017","creditText":"Visionhaus—Corbis via Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4870918/frank-ocean-sings-to-brad-pitt-fyf-festival/","name":"Find Someone to Serenade You Like Frank Ocean Romantically Singing for Brad Pitt"}}]}] ```
