The song finds YoungBoy melodically rapping over an electric guitar instrumental. It has been called an "apparent ode to his significant other": "Don't know who I want, you the one I want / Never said I don't, that's that money talk / Drunker than a skunk, it go down in the room / Choppas in the trunk, baby, this that slime tone".
