Produced by Royce David,[2] who produced most of the tracks on Northsbest, the song peaked at number 80 on the US Billboard Hot 100. [3] It was named one of the five hip hop singles to watch of fall 2018 by Forbes.[3] The track was also noted for its lyrical references to and presence of lean on the cover art and in its video.[3] "Noticed" has gone on to become one of Mosey's most popular songs, and is his second most streamed song on Spotify, only behind "Blueberry Faygo".

Composition

[edit]

Forbes called the track a "rap-sung hybrid".[3] "Noticed" also makes use of Auto-Tune on Mosey's vocals.[4] Lyrically, Lil Mosey boasts about how much he earns and the changes in his lifestyle.[4] In an interview with Genius, Mosey stated that another, slower version of the song was released in 2017, but was copyrighted. The new version was more fast-paced, and interpolates the original with the lines: "Yeah, Grew on 50 Avenue, tweakers layed up next to dude/Need a bigger revenue, so I stay tryna sell to you/****** always testin' me, so I stay with the .32/You can't hang with bros and me, 'cause we gon' blast that .22/You knew *****, I said you knew/I turn heads when I, roll through yeah/You know I'm with, with the crew yeah/Circle small, so it''s just 2 times 2, yeah". Mosey and David then decided to remake the song. The original version is still available through SoundCloud, and Mosey's YouTube channel.[5][6]

Music video

[edit]

The video was directed by Cole Bennett and features Lil Mosey showing off his "flashy lifestyle" including his jewelry and cars, as well as lying in bed next to a girl and waking up in a condo located in the mountains.[7] The music video has almost 290 million views and is one of the most viewed music videos on Lyrical Lemonade's YouTube channel.
