Critical reception
editArmon Sadler of Vibe gave a positive review, writing NLE Choppa "flows like his name conveys—consistently, sometimes violently, and punctually. It's a good reminder that he can do this in addition to his sample-heavy, melodic records of the last few years."[1] Zachary Horvath of HotNewHipHop praised the song for its "funny" lines, additionally commenting "This is pure poetry and we are going to miss the series deeply after this one."[2]
Remix
editThe official remix of the song was released on February 22, 2024. It features Lil Mabu, who details a sexual act and also says he is "good at the cookout, every hood, every trap house".[3]
A music video was released alongside the remix. It sees NLE Choppa at a house party, where Lil Mabu also brings pizza,[4] and features a video vixen resembling Chrisean Rock, as a diss toward her ex-boyfriend and rapper Blueface.[5][6]
