Background

The song is Black's first since his release from jail after a three-month sentence he received in early 2017 for violating his probation.[2][3][4] It was described by Stereogum as "the latest in a growing tradition of songs that rappers record immediately after returning from prison."[2] The song lyrically discusses Black hiding drugs in his jail cell and celebrating freedom upon his release.[2][5]

Music video

The song was also released alongside a music video, Black's first since the jail sentence, which features him "relishing his freedom with bags of money, delicious food, and sporty cars."[6][7] Directed by 20K, the video "opens with Black hugging his mom and surveying his surroundings,"[8] before "celebrating with friends, partying and balling out upon his return home."[9][10]
