Composition

Music critics have described the song as having "more in common with EDM than rap", [1] with rhythms of the type as well as dance music elements. [2] The production uses a "deafening house bassline" and "breathy" ad-libs. [1] The song also contains a sample from the animated sitcom Regular Show . [3]

Critical reception

Gabriel Bras Nevares of HotNewHipHop described the song an "absolute standout" from 2093. [2] Steve "Flash" Juon of RapReviews wrote favorably of the sample, commenting "If Bart How and Star Boy were going to pick from any surreal cartoon that seems like it could be from an alternate sci-fi future (anthropomorphic animals, talking gumball machines, vaporous cloud girlfriends) they chose the right one." [3]
