Reception

The video game series Grand Theft Auto is referenced in the song, as is its developers, Rockstar Games, [5] as HotNewHipHop described the reference as "a charming play on the message that pops up when you die in Grand Theft Auto" games. [6] The word “wasted” is displayed across the screen whenever a player dies in Grand Theft Auto. Uzi Vert's verse is described as distorted, [7] and stated by Rap-Up as a "rapid-fire verse" on which they reference "molly, hakuna matata, and a dominatrix." [8] [9]

Composition

The meaning of the song is stated as "Juice getting vulnerable about a partner who's trying to 'get closer to Satan' by talking to him 'in the Matrix'" [10] and "tackling the duality of drug culture, one where users are aware of their own demons but keep coming back for one reason or another." [11] [12] The song is described as "melancholic, shoegaze-y and dispirited." It reflects on consuming drugs with girls who make both artists sad. Compared to the musical style of fellow American rapper singer Post Malone, it is noted for its "jaded and new age pop sound." The song consists of a "heavy trap beat." [13]
