Composition
The song uses a stripped-down instrumental, over which MGK raps about losing friends, distancing himself from toxic influences, and picking up the pieces after the end of a relationship, referring to his high-profile breakup with actress Megan Fox. NF performs in two contrasting vocal deliveries: a softer, "self-aware" cadence and a harsher, frustrated tone that reflects his inner conflict.[1]
