Background and composition

The guitar-driven track finds DaBaby singing a bit, different from his usual rapping flow and similar to Young Thug's singing at the second half of the song.[3] The rappers reflect on their life in the streets before fame.[2]

Music video

The official music video for the song was released on November 16, 2020. Directed by Motion Family, it begins with a tribute to DaBaby's older brother Glenn Johnson, who died earlier in the month.[4] DaBaby invites his grandfather (played by himself) to spend the day with him and Young Thug at his video shoot as a treat for his 90th birthday.[5] The senior follows the artists as they entertain themselves in the filming and sometimes disrupts it.[6]

Live performances

DaBaby performed the song at the MTV Video Music Awards on August 30, 2020, along with his songs from the album, "Rockstar" and "Peep Hole", as a medley of all three.[7]
