Content

Lyrically, the song finds Future expressing regret on spending money extravagantly on luxury items for women whose relationships with him are short-lived and/or unsuccessful. [1] [2] He mentions numerous brands — including Patek Philippe, Richard Mille, Hermés, Bvlgari and Pucci — as well as taking his lover to Rodeo Drive and the Design District of West Hollywood, California. [3]

Critical reception

Reviewing Mixtape Pluto for Uproxx, Aaron Williams deemed the song one of the "standouts" for "fans who love wounded Future". [4] Christopher R. Weingarten called it "a classic hip-hop tale of succumbing to temptations of success, but is told in that indelible Future way." [3] Gary Suarez of Vulture criticized the song for its "branded brags", which he cited as a moment from the mixtape in which "familiarity casts a purple pallor over the proceedings." [5] In regard to consistency in the mixtape's sequencing, Gabriel Bras Nevares of HotNewHipHop commented "It's not until "TOO FAST" and its admittedly basic presentation that we get a change." [6]
