The song has been described by GRM Daily as having "a feel-good vibe with its upbeat, guitar-based production" as well as "clever lyrics including pop culture references and Instagram caption worthy lines".[1] The duo also contribute "smooth vocals from A1 on the chorus and his verse" before "J1 comes through with clever wordplay and bars".[3]
