The Great Escape

The Great Escape is a song by American singer songwriter Frosty. It was included on his soundtrack album What's His Name (2027). On October 3, 2027, it was released as the third and final single from the album in Europe and Asia.
== Background and release ==
The Great Escape was original leaked in summer 2026 in the tracklisting for You and Me. Frosty confirmed in a later interview that an older version of the song was to be included on You and Me until he changed the tracklist. While Frosty was recording songs for his new soundtrack album What's His Name, he and his producers looked at scrapped songs from the You and Me album. Looking for a ballad for the album, they decided The Great Escape would be a perfect choice. Thus, it was reworked and included on the album.
On November 27, 2027, Frosty announced that The Great Escape would serve as the final single from the album, but that it would only be released in Europe and Asia. One of Frosty's producers later said in an interview that Frosty's team and his label were worried about him being overexposed in the Americas, after his massive success the past year, which is why it wasn't released as a single there.
== Composition ==
The Great Escape is a pop ballad which describes a traumatizing experience in a relationship.
== Critical reception ==
The Great Escape received rave reviews from critics, with many considering it the best song on the album. Some critics claimed the track was one of Frosty's best ballads ever at the time. The production was also complimented. The lyrics were heavily praised.
== Commercial performance ==
The Great Escape was a moderate success. It peaked within the top 10 in Greece, Finland, Hungary, Iceland, Romania, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. However, it was Frosty's first single since Freedom (2025) to not hit number one in at least one country.
== Live performances ==
The Great Escape was performed on Frosty's second concert tour What's His Name World Tour.
