Maidza said the inspiration for the song came from the experience of people pretending to like you and the reality that friendships are sometimes not genuine. [2]

Reception

Beat Magazine said "Airhorn galore and subliminal background adulation make for a jam that’s custom-crafted for the festival stage, the overloaded instrumentation is always playful and never messy." adding "Impossible to resist getting down to this." [3]

Glam Adelaide said "'U-huh' shows an incredibly fierce and fearless young woman, her lightning-fast flow and clever wordplay sparks with an insatiable hook that urges you to dance." [1] Cool Hunting said "Her confidence-boosting single 'U-Huh' fuses pop, rap and electronic music for a track that's as catchy as it is fierce." [4]
