Composition
[edit]The first half of the song finds Latto sing-rapping about a man she is in love with[1][2] and their relationship,[3] from her feelings of insecurity to strong affection.[4] She follows an R&B-styled verse[4] and uses delivery resembling Drake's.[1] The beat switches halfway through the song,[3][4] in which she adopts the flow of rapper 21 Savage (who she is also rumored to be in a relationship with), lyrically boasting her appealing qualities and dismissing her rivals as being one-dimensional[1][2] while still bragging about her boyfriend.[2]
Music video
[edit]The music video was released alongside the single. It opens with Latto and her sister Brooklyn deciding to travel to Miami,[1] and preparing and packing for the trip.[3] In Miami, they cruise the streets in luxury cars, dance and twerk on a yacht, go dining and visit a strip club, along with other women.[2][3]
Live performances
[edit]Latto performed the song at the BET Awards 2024, along with her song "Sunday Service".[5]
