Composition

In the song, Lil Tecca and Gunna sing about the "multiple ways" they "flex their wealth".[3] Tecca also shouts out to his home state of New York: "I'm in New York, where it be cold / Look at my neck, 'cause it's iced out / I'm in the field, we goin' up (Yeah) / Told 'em to cut all the lights out".[4]

Critical reception

In an interview with XXL, Lil Tecca complimented Gunna's guest verse: "this nigga going crazy. It was lit. I ain't even gon' lie."[5] Mackenzie Cummings-Grady of Complex wrote that "Tecca's vibrant flow skates along the track's silky production, while Gunna comes through with his drippy machismo halfway through."[6]

Music video

A music video directed by filmmaking duo Stripmall was released on August 10, 2021. It features "fluorescent colors" and "pink and purple tones". The video shows Lil Tecca in his bedroom with a female friend, and riding in a luxury car in the city streets. Gunna appears within a "psychedelic" forest delivering his verse, before Tecca joins him at a party.[2][3]
