Composition and lyrics

The song features a string quartet sample in the key of A minor overlaid with synths and a trap beat with a tempo of 90 beats per minute. [1] [2] According to film co-writer and co-producer Phil Lord, Metro Boomin had texted him the strings sample and worked with producer Mike Dean to add the synths to the sample, creating what would later become "Am I Dreaming". [1]

In the first verse, ASAP Rocky raps from the perspective of Miles Morales from the film Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse: "Count up my ones, lacin' up my favorite 1s … Kiss my momma on the forehead 'fore I get the Code Red / And swing by 410, beef patty, cornbread". [3] He references the film and possibly his life before fame, and rising artist Roisee sings the chorus and a verse of her own. [4]
