Composition and critical reception

The "bass heavy" song^[1] finds Moneybagg Yo rapping about gossip around him and being the center of attention,^[2] over "YC's utterly gargantuan 808 blasts".^[3]^[4] On Consequence of Sound, Eli Enis writes that the song is "essentially one long flex against Moneybagg's unnamed haters, but it's a lot more fun and bouncy than it is bitter", and that "His flow is sturdy yet flexible, and his voice has the baritone-esque oomph of rappers like DaBaby and Young Dolph."^[4]

Music video

A music video for the song was released alongside the single. In it, Moneybagg Yo is followed by paparazzi in a grocery store, and he also addresses rumors about him and his haters in a press conference on a faux news channel.^[3]^[5] At home, he watches himself on television, switching between the press conference to a spoof of the TV series Girlfriends, in which he plays the role of William Dent.^[2]^[5]
