I've actually been for a while manifesting wanting to work with BTS and to be able to work with just one of the guys from BTS —on the Fast &Furious soundtrack,something so big —I feel like it's a beautiful thing,and it's one of those things I prayed for. So,every time you hear BTS in my mouth or Jimin in my mouth,there's gonna be a thank you behind it,because I'm just grateful knowing how big that scene is and grateful to know how big the impact they have on K-pop is in general. [2]
The song starts with piano melodies [3] as Jvke and Jimin sing the chorus, [3] [4] followed by a verse from Kodak Black about persisting through hard times [5] and the importance of family ties.

Alexander Cole of HotNewHipHop wrote,"Overall,it makes for a solid collaboration that also comes with great vocal performances from Muni Long." [3] Marv Calderon of XMPL Magazine dubbed the song "collaboration of the year." [7]
