Composition and lyrics
editProduction of the song was handled by Steve Lacy, a fellow member of The Internet. The beat features hazy synth tones, with "heavy-kicking 808 bass and skittering hi-hats".[2] Lyrically, the song mixes braggadocio with lines about keeping a close support circle,[3] such as, "Take care of the family that you came with".[2] Throughout, Syd uses a half-sung, half-rapped delivery.[3]
Music video
editThe music video, released on January 12, 2017, consists of Syd performing the lyrics in a warehouse. It features cameos from Odd Future members Tyler, The Creator, Hodgy Beats, and Mike G.[2]
