On June 10,2014,the official remix featuring Canadian singer-songwriter the Weeknd was released. [3] [4]
Upon its release,"Or Nah" was met with generally positive reviews from music critics. Complex described it as "slang expander that's sure to alter your day-to-day work conversations". [5] About the song XXL magazine wrote,"The Taylor Gang affiliate enlists Wiz Khalifa to come through on the DJ Mustard-produced “Oh Nah”—a collaborative cut void of romance and love,but rather focuses on getting straight to the point—or in this case,the sheets. While DJ Mustard subtlety guides the track with the sounds of creaking bedsprings,both Ty Dolla $ign and Wiz take the time to question their potential bedmates about food and weed,making sure the femme fatale can cater to their needs." [6]
A music video for the remix,directed by Ryan Patrick,was shot in January 2014 [7] and released on June 13,2014. [8]
Rap-Up described the music video as "dark and mysterious",also noting that it features "a bevy of sexy ladies". [9] The Fader wrote that,"the darkly seductive clip remains placid and uneventful throughout,a late plot twist leaves us wondering if Ty's pussy-hunting will meet a crazed fate". [10] Stereogum compared the video to a Swedish thriller,"which features a horror-movie plot twist at the end". [11]
