The song features a guitar loop, as well as an uptempo "trap-dipped blues rhythm".[1][2] It finds Polo G singing about his past struggles, including that of his family and his activities in the streets, his rise to success, and staying true to his roots.[2][3][4]
A music video directed by Ryan Lynch was released alongside the single. It sees Polo G in Chicago with his friends as he raps, while "glitchy graphics, fire strips, and lyrics" appear around him.[2]
In April 2022, after the video had passed 100 million views on YouTube, Polo G revealed on Instagram that he almost died of a drug overdose before the video shoot.[5]
