Background

In an interview with Complex , Bryson Tiller stated in regard to the song:

This direction of this song and video was inspired by late nights at strip clubs in Miami. I was never a fan of strip clubs but after getting to know a few dancers I really wanted to create something that they could either get ready to, or dance to. This song is actually the complete opposite of the music you will find on my next album. It's from my new mixtape series: Slum Tiller, where Detroit music is the primary inspiration. [1]

"Whatever She Wants" was first released in November 2023 from the second volume of Tiller's SoundCloud-exclusive mixtape series Slum Tiller, [1] [2] [3] and also appeared in the third volume of the series. [4] It received overwhelmingly positive reception from fans, [1] [2] [3] amassing six million streams, [4] [5] prompting it to receive a finalized version and official release. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] The original recording of the song had a warped outro; Tiller added about 30 seconds to the song. [5]

Composition

The song diverges from Bryson Tiller's R&B sound and finds him rapping. [2] In the lyrics, he details the expensive things he will provide for a woman he loves. [5] [6] [7]

Music video

An official music video premiered on February 13, 2024. Crafted by Bryson Tiller and Chris Mcoy, it sees Tiller luxury shopping and spending a lively night at a strip club. [3]
