The song sees the rappers delivering boastful lyrics about their lifestyles. Lil Baby uses his signature melodic flow as he sing-raps about his popularity and having many prostitutes. The next verse is performed by Gunna, while Lil Uzi Vert performs an eight-line verse about having prostitutes in different cities and their Patek Philippe SA.
The song received generally favorable reviews from critics. Israel Daramola of Spin wrote the song was especially one of the "solid records" from "Harder Than Ever". Kenan Draughorne of HipHopDX cited the song as an example in which "subtle melodies in his delivery elevate his blistering flow to another level", adding that "Lil Uzi Vert and Gunna contribute impressive verses as well".
