Composition
editIn "Bring It On," YoungBoy interpolates his April 2020 "Step on Shit." In the song's bridge following the first verse, YoungBoy also interpolates the 1881 poem, "Ring a Ring o' Roses" as he raps: "Ring around the rosie/Pussy tryna dome me/Know the police on me/They know that they can't clone me/Shawty say she want me/Know that I got money/Say that they don't like me/'Cause I'm always stuntin'."
Critical reception
editPitchfork's Paul A. Thompson noted that the mixtape "opens with a predictably furious suite" and notes that the song "culminates with closing ad-libs."[2] Anthony Malone from HipHopDX writes that on the song, YoungBoy "[tauntes] his enemies, reveling in the fact they want him dead."[3]
Music video
editThe FlyGuyNick-directed music video was released on January 21, 2022, alongside the official audio. The video sees YoungBoy smoking and dancing with loads of money inside his house with his close friend Herm Tha Blacksheep.[1]
