Composition
editThe production of the song contains an "influence of Eastern themes and wind instruments". R. Kelly performs the chorus.[1] In the lyrics, he sings about the types of girls he is attracted to,[2] while Big Tymers rap about a lavish lifestyle.[1]
Critical reception
editSteve "Flash" Juon of RapReviews gave a positive review, commenting that because of the production "combined with R. Kelly's unabashed sexuality singing the hook", the song is a "clear winner."[1]
