Critical reception

Critics have praised the song for its confident tone. [6] Elias Leight of Rolling Stone gave the song a mixed review, writing, "The melody is lazy, almost nonsensical, a series of notes assembled seemingly at random. Flo Milli's lines, in contrast, are pointed and direct: 'I do what I please, and you do what I ask.'" [1] Robby Seabrook III of XXL wrote, "Flo's spin on the song is refreshing, using her sharp-yet-fluid flow to brag, issue threats and flex." [3]
