The title of the EP comes from a line from "F.N.F. (Let's Go)" (Anyways, life’s great, pussy still good). [3]
On "No More Love", GloRilla talks about "envy within her circle, being let down by a guy she thought would be different and having to abort a child" in 2021. [4] "Phatnall" is a "retort against GloRilla's exes". [5] On "Unh Unh", she says "haters might think her 15 minutes of fame are over, but she’s only getting started." [6]

Vivian Medithi of HipHopDX wrote that the EP proves that Glorilla is "one of the most exciting new rappers of any gender" although it does not always "match the lofty promises of her hit singles". [6] Heven Haile of Pitchfork praised her "agile and disarming" lyrics but pointed out "similar instrumentals and flow templates" of the songs. [7]
Jessica McKinney of Complex wrote that "her thick and husky Southern accent makes her one of the most memorable voices in the game right now." Lawrence Burney of NPR claimed that "she could be a voice for her generation." [4]
