Composition[edit]

Robin Murray of Clash wrote that the song shows an "explosive anthem, the kind of arena-level trap.[1] Critics further note that the track "come[s] equipped with the buzzsaw synthesizers, sci-fi laser blasts, and pounding 808s."[2]

Music video[edit]

An accompanying music video was released on January 6, 2022. It finds YoungBoy inviting fans to his Utah home where he and his fans have a snowball fight while are seen dancing and getting "sturdy".[3]
