Composition

[edit]

The song has an uptempo beat,[1] over which Offset raps in a staccato delivery and Auto-Tuned vocals, while Moneybagg Yo performs in a brooding tone.[1][2] Lyrically, the song centers on them being ahead of their time and criticizing "counterfeit" rappers.[3]

Music video

[edit]

A music video was released alongside the single. Directed by Claire Arnold,[4][5] it stars American model Bella Hadid, showing her and the rappers wearing Balenciaga clothing and jewelry.[2][3][4] Offset and Moneybagg Yo appear in a white background[1] and in a blue-lit studio. Hadid poses and does planks inside a lighted wall box,[5] first wearing a rhinestone bikini with boots and black gloves, before adding a neon green fake fur coat and black hoodie to her outfit. Later, she wears a white faux fur coat and black sunglasses during a runway walk.[5][6]
