Release and promotion

On September 6, 2024, Scott took to Twitter to tease a snippet of the song through a video of him on a yacht with Future, producer Southside, and fellow American rapper Lil Baby.[1] However, when the song was released exactly two weeks later as part of Mixtape Pluto, Scott was not a part of the song. On October 29, 2024, Future announced that he would be releasing a remix that in collaboration with Scott three days later. (Future Twitter) Scott adds a verse to the song along with some background vocals before it ends with another chorus by Future.[2]

Critical reception

Reviewing Mixtape Pluto, Gabriel Bras Nevares of HotNewHipHop commented that Future "stretches himself out on 'SOUTH OF FRANCE' without losing control of the wheel".[3] Writing for Pitchfork, Paul A. Thompson cited "South of France" as "the clearest example" for which "the beats on Mixtape Pluto (led by Southside and Wheezy, though numerous tracks have two or more co-producers) offer a new way forward for Future by tying together disparate threads from his early career" and further described it as "a wistful but anvil-heavy missive that locates the intersection of "Bugatti" and "U.O.E.N.O.," marrying 808 Mafia-style maximalism to the slyer, woozier style that competed with it for airtime in the early 2010s".
