Composition
editThe song features a "melancholic piano loop and some up-tempo percussion" in the instrumental. Lil Tjay begins with the first verse, on which he "proves why he's one of the game's standout newcomers", before Offset and Moneybagg Yo rap the second and third verses respectively. The three rap about their individual lifestyles, which involve "foreign cars and blinged-out jewelry".[1][2]
Music video
editThe music was directed by Whipalo. It opens with Lil Tjay in a garage, flaunting a "lavish car collection" and his money. As Offset performs his verse, a gray BMW does donuts around him. Moneybagg Yo raps next to some cars as well. In the ending, Lil Tjay "makes it rain in the middle of a blazing fire inside the garage".[3][4]
