Composition

The song uses the "pre-hyperrap sound" from his previous album Whole Lotta Red , [1] with "chilling" electronics that has been considered reminiscent of Drain Gang's music. [2] It finds Playboi Carti singing in a soft, high-pitched voice. [3] In the lyrics, he reflects on his humble beginnings and overcoming obstacles in his career path, before wondering if a certain girl loves him. [4]

Critical reception

Billboard ranked it as the 20th best song from Music. [4] In a review of Music, Alphonse Pierre of Pitchfork wrote "Sharper is 'I Seeeeee You Baby Boi,' where the combination of Carti's vaporous melodies and DJ Moon and Lucian's lush beat creates a flamboyant bounce." [5]
