Composition
Critical reception
The track received generally positive reviews from music critics. Sheldon Pearce of Pitchfork praised the song, writing, "The beat never drops during the Uzi verse, creating a fascinating sort of tension; instead, he burrows into the synth bed with his melodic flows, generating his own rhythms. When the drums finally do kick in, Carti springs to life, brandishing weapons and matching Uzi's Auto-Tune. Carti's greatest gift is being interesting without doing much of anything, and here he's at his minimalistic best."[2]
