Composition
In the song, Sleepy Hallow uses a melodic delivery over a beat of guitar and drums with a melancholy tone and lyrics about his loneliness and mistrust: "I just wanna slide, huh / Parties in the sky like it's 2055, huh / She said 'Boy you nice, boy you nice', huh / Heart cold like some water and some ice (Huh)".[1][3] He sings about mistrust and struggles in his street life as well ("Real niggas cry blood (Blood) / Hope my kid never try drugs (Huh) / All I wanted was some love, would that trade for a gun (Huh) / Big pack on me now, remember back then I was fucked up, huh / I don't really want friends, everybody fake, I don't got trust").[3][4]
Music video
A music video was released alongside the single. The animated visual was directed by Ryan Dylan Selkirk (Aylo) and animation was designed by Owen Khang, Akam Hussein Rustam and Melis Sosa.
