"@ Meh" (stylized in all caps; pronounced "at me") is a song by American rapper Playboi Carti, released on April 16, 2020. It was released in promotion for Carti's second studio album Whole Lotta Red ; however, it was excluded from the project's final tracklist. [1] The song was produced by JetsonMade, Neeko Baby, and Deskhop. [2] Playboi Carti uses his "baby voice" in the song, which was notably heard in the unreleased track "Pissy Pamper" prior to the song's release. [3]

Critical reception

Charles Holmes of Rolling Stone writes that "'@ Meh' sounds like a Fisher-Price Fruity Loops jamboree as performed by a PlayStation 4. In a high-pitched 'baby voice', Carti sings about everything he hates about 'pussy ass niggas'." [2]

In September 2024, Pitchfork included "@ Meh" on their list of "The 100 Best Songs of the 2020s So Far", ranking it at number 63. [4]

Music video

The music video for "@ Meh" debuted on the same day as the song's release, and was directed by Carti himself and Nick Walker. [5] Playboi Carti is seen in a blue, dimly lit backdrop while he lip-syncs and gestures throughout the song. There are various cuts which show young female models in the same backdrop. "@ Meh" has around 32.7 million views on YouTube as of April 2025. [6]
