King Von teased the song on October 7, 2020. The first version contained a guest participation by Key Glock. On April 30, 2021, a demo version of "Don't Play That" leaked online.
It is the first posthumous single from King Von and the first collaboration with 21 Savage.[2]
Uproxx's Wongo Okon said that "The track serves as another example of Von's straight-to-the-point raps which left little to no room for any fun or games". He also praised 21 Savage's part.[3] Erika Marie of HotNewHipHop wrote that "fans have anticipated [song] since prior to [Von's] murder".[1]
