Background

The song was previewed during Lil Uzi Vert's performance at Summer Smash 2023. It features audio from comedian and social media personality Charleston White's interview with Say Cheese, in which he made homophobic and transphobic comments in a rant taking aim at Uzi. Lil Uzi Vert and Atlantic Records called White and Say Cheese TV to get authorization for using it in the song before it was released. [1] White later revealed that Uzi's team cut him a "pretty nice check" and have to pay him royalty checks for the sample. [2]

Composition and lyrics

The song begins with a sample of the rant [1] [3] A synth line is then played, as Lil Uzi Vert throws a few taunts, before a series of guitar riffs are played through the remainder of the track. [3] Lyrically, Uzi defends their individuality and dismisses those who disapprove of it. [1]

Reception

Robin Murray of Clash wrote, "'Flooded the Face' and 'Suicide Doors' are an emphatic opening couplet – Lil Uzi Vert flip between caustic revelation and hilariously surreal word play, the squelching electronics carrying bass-heavy bombast." [4]

In an interview on the podcast We Are Florida, Charleston White said he was "happier than a bitch" when asked about his reaction to the sample. He additionally expressed gratitude, saying "Shout out to [Lil Uzi Vert]. 'Cause I wasn't speaking [favorably] of [them], right? So [they] could've got [offended] and be like, 'Nah, fuck that [guy]." [2]
