Critical reception

AllMusic 's Andy Kellman wrote that the track is "creative" and "a candied and elegantly smudged ballad in which Faiyaz duets with a feminized version of himself". [1] Writing for HipHopDX , David Aaron Brake noted that the track has a "sharp clarity". [2] The New York Times ' Jon Caramanica stated that the track has "new wave shimmers". [3]

Music video

The Lone Wolf and Mark Peaced-directed music video was released over a year after the song's release on August 16, 2023. [4] The music video is inspired by the 1997 Quentin Tarantino-directed, Jackie Brown . [4] In an October 2022 interview with Variety , Faiyaz spoke about the song's inspiration and how it efected the visuals: [5]

"Jackie Brown was one of the movies I was watching during COVID on repeat. Besides the fact that Pam Grier was fine as sh-t in that movie, I also liked the fact that they stay by the beach in L.A., and I stay in Venice. Cinematically, I liked the shots and I liked the colors. For whatever reason, when I watch Tarantino films, it just makes me want to make music. Something about the images just puts sounds in my head. Tarantino’s the GOAT. Cold as f–k."
