Composition

The song opens with the sound of a motor revving and whistling synth, followed by a trap beat with airy but distorted electric guitar chords. [1]

Critical reception

Robin Murray of Clash described the rock influences on the song as "jarring". [2] Gabriel Bras Nevares of HotNewHipHop wrote the song's production, "plus a longing plea for love and weakness in the face of chaotic and high-speed vices, set the stage for what Don Toliver does most successfully and consistently on HARDSTONE PSYCHO."
