The song begins with a piano introduction for about 40 seconds, before "precise bass and skittering percussion" plays in the instrumental with Lil Tjay beginning his verse.

Mitch Findlay of HotNewHipHop praised the song, writing that "The hypnotic instrumental provides a relaxing backdrop, and Tjay's flow remains sharp without invading the space." [1]

Music video

A music video for the song was released on February 4, 2020. Directed by Sophie Caraan, it sees Lil Tjay in Miami via private jet, being chauffeured in expensive car and in a private yacht with his friends. [3] [4]
