The song begins with the chorus,in which Drake sings in Auto-Tuned vocals and interpolates the chorus of "Stayin' Alive" by the Bee Gees:"Try me a hundred times / Wanted me to lie,wanted me to cry,wanted me to die / Ah,ah,ah,I'm stayin' alive,I'm stayin' alive,I'm stayin' alive,I'm stayin' alive".

A music video directed by RT! was released alongside the single. The video was shot at York University. The visual takes place in the fictional Khaled Khaled Hospital,and stars DJ Khaled as head of general surgery,Lil Baby as head of cardiothoracic surgery,and Drake as head of neuro surgery. [7] [3] [4] [8] Wearing blue scrubs and a stethoscope,Drake smokes hookah and takes shots with the staff,and also mindlessly signs charts and waves off nurses. [6] [9] [10] Meanwhile,Lil Baby smokes a blunt while performing surgery, [4] [6] and then wears a white doctor's coat while partying in a club within the hospital. Later,the three artists meet at the hospital's parking lot,surrounded by ambulances. [6] [10]
