Composition

[edit]

Jon Blistein of Rolling Stone described the track's production as a "prickly harp loop around crisp drums, big bass hits and a sinister synth".[2] Gunna and Future sing about how they could easily make a hit whenever they collaborate, as well as the "riches and success they've attained in their respective careers".[3][4][5][6]

Remix

[edit]

The official remix of the song features American rapper Roddy Ricch and was released on December 3, 2021.[7] The remix later appeared on the album alongside the original as a bonus track.
