[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").

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]
