The song is about the artists' disloyalty and their exes. [3] It opens with Ty Dolla Sign referencing "Where I Wanna Be" by Donell Jones in the chorus:"I just text my main chick (main) / I told her I ain't coming home (home) / I just text my main chick (main) / I told her I ain't coming home,tonight (home)". [2] [4] [5] He "gets to the heart of his plan" in the first verse,singing,"Mixing Henny with the Bombay (Bomb') / Fuck it,I done had a long day (oh) / I done linked up with my old thing / Right time,but the wrong place". [4] YG then raps about his single life,on jet skis with "naked" women ("Leave your main squeeze for these naked bitches,yeah / That's how,you know,when it's all bad / She call me,I text her I could call back / But she imagine in her head I'm doing all that"). [5]
Kevin Goddard of HotNewHipHop wrote that Ty Dolla Sign "delivers a radio-friendly club banger that finds him addressing relationship issues with his 'ex' girl." [6] Vice Media called the song a "breezy piece of libidinous R&B that mostly involves Ty Dolla $ign mixing drinks and thinking about hooking back up with a former lover". [7]
The music video was released on January 18,2018. Directed by David Camarena,it finds Ty Dolla Sign cruising through a city in a vintage car with hydraulics,then entering a party surrounded by many women,before he is seen in a room bathed in red lights with a woman wearing lingerie waits for him. Ty later meets up with YG,as they show off old-school cars and go partying. [8] [9]
