In an interview with HotNewHipHop shortly before the release of The Goat, Polo G stated that he and Juice Wrld used to "link up" together when they were in California. He added that when he recorded the song with Hit-Boy, he left an open verse and Hit-Boy brought Juice Wrld to record a verse.[1] In another interview with Complex, he said that the song had the feature he was most excited for on the album.[2]
The song contains melodic production in the form of an "emotive" pop beat,[3][4] and boastful lyrics from the rappers regarding their lifestyles.[4]
The song received generally positive reviews, with particular praise on Juice Wrld's feature.[4] Fred Thomas of AllMusic wrote that he adds "even more gravity" to the song's beat.[3] Writing for HipHopDX, Eric Diep regarded Juice Wrld's verse as one of his best.[5]
