Composition

An opening track with a "cosmic-sounding beat" as well as a "soaring, vowel-emphasizing hook", [1] "Flooded the Face" sees Uzi boasting about their success and wealth. Lyrics primarily focus on "materialistic possessions". [2] The rapper directly tackles rumors regarding their sexuality, bragging about their body count with women. [3] In doing so, they address speculations of them being gay, asking the listener, "how could you ever say Lil Uzi Gay?". [4] Despite several braggadocious lines, Uzi also shows love to their girlfriend JT. [5]

Critical reception

Ahmad Davis of Rap-Up thought the track was a "poetic intro". [3] Likewise, Robin Murray at Clash called "Flooded the Face" (along with "Suicide Doors") "an emphatic opening", emphasizing on their "hilariously surreal word play". [6] Slant 's Paul Attard described the rapper's form on the song as "classic Uzi". [1]
