Critical response
It was panned by PopMatters: "Likewise, "For the Road" (formerly "Fuck for the Road") is such an utter clash of lowbrow concept and pre-teen shine that Chris Brown ought to have been paired with a more ludicrous rapper in the Lil Boosie or Busta Rhymes mold.."[6]
Music video
The music video for "For the Road" was filmed on April 21, 2013, and was directed by Colin Tilley.[7] The music video premiered on MTV Jams on May 19, 2013.[8]
