Composition

The production of the song uses a trap beat [2] containing high-pitched whistling loop [3] [4] and thumping bass. [3] Described as "high-energy", [5] the song begins with someone yelling "Yoooo! This shit is un-believ-able!" before the beat plays. [3] 2 Chainz performs the first verse; [6] about halfway through the song, Lil Wayne performs his verse in a fast-paced flow, [3] [6] with lyrics about topics such as women and guns [7] as well as a reference to NBA player Devin Booker. [3]

Critical reception

Tom Breihan of Stereogum gave a positive review, writing "The two rappers have a blast ripping that track to pieces; Wayne's double-time verse is especially impressive." [4] Andre Ellington of HipHopDX commented that 2 Chainz "takes things back to the essence of why people gravitated toward his music with playful bars that are meant to be played in rotation at celebratory events" and that Lil Wayne "takes the baton and doesn't disappoint as he uses his uncanny ability to morph his delivery to the cadence of each record that he appears on." [8]

Live performances

On October 20, 2023, 2 Chainz and Lil Wayne performed the song on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon . [9]
