Prior to the formation of 88GLAM and following the disbanding of their former group coined "Get Home Safe Crew" with Jazz Cartier, both Derek Wise and 88 Camino had been releasing music separately. Wise and 88 Camino remained in touch and collaborated frequently and previously worked together on the tracks "Anuva Wun" as a single by 88 Camino and "I Can Tell" from Wise's 2017 debut album Inglorious. Wise and Camino began teasing their collaborative project during the summer of 2017.
The duo introduced the name "88GLAM" on November 1, 2017, premiering their first music video "12" via Billboard which featured a cameo from The Weeknd. This was followed by the release of another music video for "Bali" featuring NAV and the debut of their self-titled mixtape 88GLAM on November 7, 2017.
On April 20, 2018, four new tracks were added to 88GLAM and re-released as 88GLAM RELOADED by XO Records and Republic Records. Introducing a new remix to the duo's platinum-certified record Bali with NAV now featuring 2 Chainz.

Thinkin' 'bout you all the time
Gotta let you go sometime-time-time (yeah)

Have some mad tings at the right time
Know you like when I take my time
Know I like when you take all mine

The lyrics of "Want to" by 88GLAM depict a sense of independence and freedom in making personal choices. The repeated line "Always on my mind, thinking 'bout you all the time, gotta let you go sometime" suggests that the singer is trying to move on from someone or something that has been occupying their thoughts constantly. However, despite this sentiment, they assert their agency by stating "I do what I want to," emphasizing their ability to make decisions and live life on their own terms.
The lyrics also touch on the pursuit of dreams and aspirations. The line "Had a couple dreams 'til they came true" suggests that the singer has achieved some of their goals, which further reinforces their sense of freedom and control over their own destiny. The chorus repeats this sentiment of doing what they want, whether it's getting high, having drinks, or simply embracing their own desires and individuality.
In the second verse, the lyrics shift to a more romantic tone, with references to a significant other. The singer describes their partner as their "lifeline" and acknowledges the importance of taking things slow in the relationship. The line "Know I like when you take all mine" suggests a deep emotional connection between the two individuals. Despite their individual freedom, they also express a commitment to their relationship, suggesting that they will be on top together for life.

You can tell they've been having trouble with getting the rights to their music due to their fall out with XO. Cause this song has been leaked for some time, and their hair is grown out in the video, when they both got it cut a while ago. Regardless, I'm glad to see 88Glam finally pulling through for their fans in 2022. Been waiting for CTHFFG since they dropped Swim (2020)

@Dawson Neece they never really spoke on why they actually left.. like others have said, they stated they wanted to go independent but it definitely sounded like a cover-up. maybe a fallout with Cash? they are cool with Abel and NAV and everyone else, so the only person i can think of that may have had the fallout is CashXO
