The song "Ex" by Ty Dolla $ign starts with the artist telling his fans that the song is produced by 4Hunnid and Bongo By The Way, who are known for their hit-making prowess. He then confesses to having texted his "main chick," who is his primary partner, that he won't be coming home. Ty explains that he mixed Henny with Bombay and had a rough day, so he linked up with his past lover. He admits that even though the timing is convenient, it's the wrong place making a pun out of a sexual tension.
Throughout the song, Ty explains that he's living as carefree and lavish as possible. He's cruising around with nostalgic memories on his mind, but when he's with his old lover, he follows R. Kelly's steps from 12 Play in the name of foreplay. As the song comes to an end, the chorus repeats the same lyrics, where Ty refuses to head home and misses a night's sleep with his partner.
