Critical reception

The song received generally positive reviews. Kyann-Sian Williams of NME commented that the artists recreates the "magic" of "TGIF" and "Hollon", further stating "they make the ultimate empowerment track and you can't help to do the chickenhead when Glo asserts: 'Every time I pop out, you know I A-T-E / I'm that bitch, hoe, get like me.'" [2] Demicia Inman of Vibe remarked, "The song, arguably ready to carry both of their summer street dominations well into fall, prove they're both untouchable. They are equally 'giving hair, face, a**, titties.'" [3] Peter A. Berry of Stereogum called it "a fun 'Wipe Me Down' remake where Sexyy takes home Bar-of-the-Day: 'I'm with my peoples, and we comin' 50 deep/ You ain't know I was a hitta 'cause I'm always lookin' fleek." [4] Vivian Medithi of Pitchfork wrote the song "feels like a mixtape loosie, but as fun as it is to hear the pair trade verses over a sample of 'Wipe Me Down,' the repurposing of Boosie Badazz's iconic flow veers toward karaoke." [5]

Music video

The music video was directed by Benny Boom. [6] It sees GloRilla and Sexyy Red wearing fur coats over metallic bikinis and fuzzy boots, [7] [8] and rapping and shaking in their outfits. The setting alternates between a bright pink background and barbershop/beauty salon, [9] [10] with Boosie Badazz appearing with the rappers at the latter. [10]
