Background and composition

Music video

The music video was released on the same day as the song. It was directed and edited by JakeTheShooter and Larray.[5]

Controversy

Roughly a week after the release, Larray addressed backlash he received from the track on TikTok about supposedly "normalizing child grooming",[6] stating:

In the video, I made some jokes and I stated some facts, and there's a huge difference between the two ... I find it ironic that I'm being called out for the Tony Lopez situation, which wasn't a joke, when the entire TikTok community was doing the same thing.[7]

Chart performance

The song reached number 81 on the Billboard Hot 100, making it Larray's first entry on the chart.[8] It also charted at number 34 on the magazine's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart and at 96 on the Canadian Hot 100.
