Background and composition


Two days before its release, the song was teased by Tyla Yaweh on Instagram.[2] It is an ode to his "lavish lifestyle" and is named after Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee, who also plays the drums on the song's rock remix, "accented by strings and choice chimes that serve as a base for emotive verses from Tyla and Post".[3] The two sing about living like rockstars without having to worry about anything, but also "touch on the tribulations of their position".[3]
