Background and release

Steven Victor originally wanted "Aim for the Moon" to be the intro to a mixtape by Pop Smoke, but the latter declined, saying he wanted to make the song the album's intro. The rapper loved "Aim for the Moon", saying, "Yo, this is fire. We've got to keep this for the album." Victor recalled how everyone knew the song was the first track that was going to end up on Shoot for the Stars, Aim for the Moon. They were in a studio with Travis Scott, working on "Gatti" and a couple of other songs. Victor admitted the song was originally supposed to be on Scott's album, but the latter just took it. Quavo explained that he was at a recording studio called No Name Studios in Los Angeles working on "Snitching" when Pop Smoke came from a different recording studio and showed him "Aim for the Moon". He stated that Pop Smoke had created the song in around 30 minutes. 5ive Beatz said he was also in Los Angeles at the time, making beats, when Travis Scott called his friend WondaGurl for some beats. She sent him back a pack with a couple of 5ive Beatz beats in it. WondaGurl commented that Pop Smoke really enjoyed her beats, and asked her to fly out to a resort in the Bahamas to work with him. They all ended up staying in different rooms but would go into the main studio where Pop Smoke was recording. WondaGurl showed the beat she made to Pop Smoke, who ended up recording with it. Afterward, 808Melo took the beat's sound and continued to work on it. She said it was then all over the internet. WondaGurl stated that she was very grateful to be part of the song's making and was thankful to get to work with Pop Smoke. [1]

The song was written by Pop Smoke, known as Bashar Jackson, alongside Quavo, who has the real name of Quavious Marshall, Andre Loblack, Ebony Oshunrinde, Dez Wright, Tyy Beats, Dylan Cleary-Krell, Sadiki Forbes, Tyrone Penman, and Daniel Deleyto. It was produced by 808Melo and WondaGurl, while co-produced by Dez Wright, Tyy Beats, and Dani. Mixing was handled by Jess Jackson, while Rose Adams, Sage Skofield, and Sean Solymar were credited as assistant mixers. WondaGurl, Forbes, Penman, Deleyto, and Cleary-Krell handled the song's programming. Barrington Hall, Nate Alford, Corey Nutile were credited as the song's recording engineers, while the latter dealt with the song's recording. [2] On July 3, 2020, "Aim for the Moon" was released as the second track on Pop Smoke's debut posthumous studio album Shoot for the Stars, Aim for the Moon. [3]

Music and lyrics

Critics have described "Aim for the Moon" as a drill track. [4] [5] Jade Gomez of Paste opined that the song isa "blistering intro with stuttery Hi-hats and brooding bass perfect for the club or car speaker". [6] Roisin O'Connor of The Independent mentioned that the song has a "hi-hat patter". [7] According to A.D. Amorosi of Variety , "Aim For The Moon" uses braggadocio and has a "cymbal-tapping groove, mixed with gravelly bass" to drop "the depth of a freshly-dug grave" and allow "the rappers to sound as if they're flying high above the fray". [8] Gomez said the track "reflects on Pop Smoke's successes from his roots ('Mr Dior-Dior, they know where it started'), referencing his 2019 hit 'Dior,' to his lavish life filled with women, parties and drugs." Gomez said Quavo has "brilliant chemistry with Pop Smoke on [the] track", and that his "sing-songy delivery play[s] well against the rougher vocals". [6] Briana Younger of NPR noted the lyrics discuss the success that Pop Smoke was just beginning to see. [5]

Critical reception

"Aim for the Moon" was met with generally positive reviews from music critics, with a number of them praising the production. Writing for Vulture , Craig Jenkins labeled the song as "grim" and said it is a "foreboding cut". [9] Gary Suarez of Entertainment Weekly depicted the song as an "aspirational fulfillment". [10] David Crone of AllMusic said the song is one of the album's highlights. [3] In his review for Clash , Mike Milenko commented that Pop Smoke and Quavo worked well together, that their chemistry was "astounding", and said the combination of both rappers "not only works, it works incredibly well". [11] Writing for The Wall Street Journal , Mark Richardson viewed the song as a "cavernous low end that seems to gather energy and then lash out like a venomous snake". [12] Earmilk 's Ashton Howard depicted the song's beat as "grime", with him noting it showcases what made Pop Smoke so popular with his young fans. [13] Younger wrote that "Aim for the Moon" has a "triumphant sheen to it". [5] Some reviewers viewed the song more negatively. Alphonse Pierre of Pitchfork described "Aim for the Moon" as a "hollow Astroworld retread." [14] David Arron Blake of HipHopDX stated that Quavo "categorically" failed to keep up with Pop Smoke "creatively and sonically", opining, that he consistently lagged behind the beat and delivered "sloppy" and "underwritten" verses. He continued, saying Quavo's adlibs "actively undermine and distract from the sonic world-building which makes Pop Smoke's music so captivating". [15]

Following the release of Shoot for the Stars, Aim for the Moon, "Aim for the Moon" debuted and peaked at number 34 on the US Billboard Hot 100. [16] The song simultaneously peaked at number 16 on the US Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. [17] It further peaked at number 27 on the Canadian Hot 100, [18] number 65 in Australia, [19] and number 58 in France. [20]
