Composition and lyrics

edit

The song features a "bass-heavy midtempo groove that highlights Harlow's catchy flows".[2] Jack Harlow pays homage to the NBA player Tyler Herro, a friend of his,[3] rapping: "My homeboy Tyler he play in South Beach / He told me this summer he gon' fix my jumper". He also mentions having made a new group of friends: "I brought a gang to the party with me / Five white boys, but they not NSYNC".[4]

Music video

The music video was released alongside the single. It was directed by Ace Pro and filmed in the home of basketball player Lou Williams in Atlanta.[5][6] The video begins with a child resembling Jack Harlow getting off the school bus and running towards his home. It then cuts to Harlow enjoying his life in fame. He shoots hoops with Tyler Herro, goes through a "wardrobe change", and is also seen on a bed with two girls having a pillow fight.[2] Harlow also introduces his rap group The Homies.[2] The visual features a cameo from comedian Druski.[6]
