Composition
The song finds Takeoff "[bending] time" and "[cramming] syllables" while Quavo melodically raps to the beat. YoungBoy on the other hand takes on a gangsta rap style. Critics note that it's an "imitation" of Migos' "Need It," also featuring YoungBoy.
Music video
In a 2023 podcast with YoungBoy Never Broke Again, he announced that Quavo and Takeoff - prior to his death - had flown out to Utah where YoungBoy is currently placed on house arrest to film the official music video, however, YoungBoy noted that he was in a bad mood and regretted canceling the video shoot: "they came out here to do the video, but I think something happened. And it had me in a f*cked up mood. So, I had canceled the video. I regret it, though. It's okay, though."
