Composition

Jon Powell of Revolt wrote that the song sees YoungBoy "keeping it very street-oriented on wax".[1] Both the production and lyrics of the song have been described as "sinister"; music critics noted the lyrics, "Spotted him, I sent a pic to that nigga to show him I'm only lettin' him breathe / Shot at him, I swung that stick at that nigga / The bullets, they stronger than Hercules".[2][3][4]

Music video

An accompanying music video was released on January 5, 2022. It finds YoungBoy rapping around his house, from the garage to his home studio "with different chains and wardrobe changes".[4]
