## Music video

[edit]

The music video for the track was released on August 16, 2018, and was directed by Drew Kirsch, Mihailo Andic, and Lil Yachty himself.[1] Trace William Cowen of Complex called the video "ominous".[2]

## Critical reception

[edit]

The track received generally positive reviews. Joshua Minsoo Kim of Spin called the track a highlight off of Lil Boat 2, stating it was mostly great "because of Trippie Redd’s melodic sensibility".[3] Sam Moore of NME called the track "a welcome source of relief from the overbearing raps" on the album, saying that the beat was "the kind of cloud-rap instrumental Yung Lean circa-2013 would’ve felt comfortable throwing his bucket hat on".[4]

## Commercial performance

In less than a week, the song had reached over five million streams on Spotify, twice the amount of streams the track "Baby Daddy" featuring Lil Pump and Offset had.[5] The song debuted and peaked at number 73 on the Billboard Hot 100, and at number 36 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.[6]
