Background

Lil Mosey found the instrumental of the song on YouTube as a "Lil Uzi Vert type beat" and decided to write a catchy verse to it. The music video was shot in his hometown of Seattle.[1] The song gained much attention upon release; according to Lil Mosey, "Everyone around me was just listening to it in my city. And it just kept getting farther. Because the first day it hit 10k, second day it hit, like, 30, then it hit 60, then, like, a hundred, 180. Then it kept going [up] to a million."[2]

Critical reception

Hef of Elevator Mag gave a favorable review of the song, writing "It's a well-done track that shows off his unique sound and style as he comes correct with some fiery rhymes and lines across the ethereal production, adding up to a dope track with a dope video to match."[3]
