Music and lyrics
Produced by OG Parker and Romano, "Enough (Miami)" finds Cardi B taking aim at her opponents.[7] It has been described as a "braggadocious rap number" in which she confidently talks up her style, saying "I do not see no competitors."[8] In the first verse, she taunts her haters by rapping, "Bitches is washed, soap on the dishes/ I apply pressure like boa constrictors/ One bitch, two bitch, old bitch, new bitch/ None of y’all bitches not gon’ do shit."[7] She delivers catchy innuendos and quippy rhymes such as "I’m gettin’ better and better-er" with her "usual bold-face flow" over "aggressive basslines".[9]
On July 3, 2024, Joshua Fraustro and Miguel Aguilar, who make up producer duo Kemika1956, sued Cardi B for copyright infringement, alleging that the rapper used their 2021 track "Greasy Frybread" without permission on "Enough (Miami)".[10]
Music video
The music video was directed by Patience Harding and released alongside the song on March 15, 2024.[11] The video bears the influence of Missy Elliot's videos and consists of Cardi B rapping the song’s lyrics on a blank soundstage.

In one outfit, she wears a black leather and spikes bondage gear kit, while in another she wears a full-length fur over a burgundy sling bikini and platform boots, as well as a copper pixie cut wig.
