Composition edit

Forbes called the track a "rap-sung hybrid".[3] "Noticed" also makes use of Auto-Tune on Mosey's vocals.[4] Lyrically, Lil Mosey boasts about how much he earns and the changes in his lifestyle.[4] In an interview with Genius, Mosey stated that another, slower version of the song was released in 2017, but was copyrighted. The new version was more fast-paced, and interpolates the original with the lines: "Yeah, Grew on 50 Avenue, tweakers layed up next to dude/Need a bigger revenue, so I stay tryna sell to you/****** always testin' me, so I stay with the .32/You can't hang with bros and me, 'cause we gon' blast that .22/You knew *****, I said you knew/I turn heads when I, roll through yeah/You know I'm with, with the crew yeah/Circle small, so it''s just 2 times 2, yeah". Mosey and David then decided to remake the song. The original version is still available through SoundCloud, and Mosey's YouTube channel.[5][6]

Music video edit

The video was directed by Cole Bennett and features Lil Mosey showing off his "flashy lifestyle" including his jewelry and cars, as well as lying in bed next to a girl and waking up in a condo located in the mountains.[7] The music video has almost 290 million views and is one of the most viewed music videos on Lyrical Lemonade's YouTube channel.
