Composition and lyrics

In the song, the three artists rap about each of their luxurious lifestyles and experiences and attracting women as a result. Particularly, they mention how their romantic partners think they are "me or something".[1][2] Future delivers the first verse; the beat then switches, shifting to a more aggressive tone, and Future's verse is followed by Nardo Wick and Lil Baby's verses.[2][3]

Music video

An official music video for the song was released on February 3, 2022. The video was directed by MadeByJames and is set in the Roaring Twenties. It starts with Future rapping in a bedroom[2] and being "distracted by a woman's beauty".[4] Nardo Wick raps in a room (described as a Depression-era juke joint)[5] filled with individuals gambling, drinking and smoking, as well as women.[2] While rapping, he plans out a heist with his crew. During the third verse, Lil Baby and his "lady friend" carry out the heist, stealing cash and jewelry.[4] Baby also raps to a surveillance camera.[6] The three rappers reunite and celebrate their success in the end.[4]
