Composition and lyrics

The song finds the rappers melodically rapping [1] about wanting to start a moshpit; [2] [3] Kodak Black suggests stomping in Louboutin red bottoms. [4] The first verse is performed by Juice Wrld [2] [3] in Auto-Tuned vocals, [4] while the second and final verse is performed by Kodak Black, who references the song "Tom Ford" by Jay-Z ("I be rocking Tom Ford, popping Molly though") [3] [4] [5] and sings about moshing at the Staples Center. [2]

Critical reception

Dayna Haffenden of XXL gave a positive review, commenting the rappers "spit effortlessly" and that Juice Wrld "shows off his skills" in his verse. [3] Other music critics were less favorable; Maxwell Cavaseno of HotNewHipHop wrote the song "consists of forgettable production and a Juice WRLD feature you could've easily mistaken as a miscredited Post Malone verse." [6] Daniel Spielberger of HipHopDX considered Juice Wrld's appearance "slightly better" than the other guest features Dying to Live, "but unnecessary nonetheless." [7]
