"From Now On" is a trap-fuelled song[1] which revolves around Lil Baby changing his image, such as abandoning his lifestyle of "pictures with my Styrofoam]]"[2] or buying too many houses.[3] The song ends with him rapping in a whisper flow.[1]
Shanté Collier-McDermott of Clash praised the song, writing that "it sounds just how the product of all four talents would, Baby closing out the track with a cool whisper flow."[1] Alphonse Pierre of Pitchfork was more critical of the song, writing, "On 'From Now On,' his bar about buying too many houses stands out solely because it's a wild problem to have, but it's not tied to any emotion."[3] Christine Werthman of Billboard said, "What better rapper to welcome back to that bleak, hedonistic party than Future, who joins Lil Baby on 'From Now On'? While Baby says his image revamp requires 'no more pictures with my Styrofoam,' Future is contentedly 'drinkin' out Styrofoam,' unbothered or numb or both, his apathy making Lil Baby sound like a hopeful youth by comparison."[2]
The official music video was released on October 28, 2022. Directed by Envisioned by Denity, it finds Lil Baby and Future performing the song in the studio, on the streets and in shops.[4] They are seen wearing "colorful", expensive clothing, hats and jewelry.[5] it also features a cameo from Lil Uzi Vert.
