A clap-driven, mid-tempo song, Lil Tjay pays homage to his close friend and fellow collaborator Pop Smoke, who was shot and killed at the age of 20 during a home invasion on February 19, 2020, in Hollywood Hills.

[5][6] Pop Smoke was rushed to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, where doctors performed a thoracotomy on the left side of his chest, but a few hours later, he was pronounced dead.

[7][8][9] Fellow American rapper Lil Tjay was a close friend to Pop Smoke and collaborated with him on the tracks "War" and "Mannequin".

[14][15] Alex Griffin for GRM Daily mentions the song is delivered in Lil Tjay's "distinctive" style and tone which "takes no shame in putting his pain on full display".

[17] Joshua Espinoza of Complex said that Lil Tjay struggles to "wrap his head around the tragic news, while vowing to make sure Pop Smoke's legacy lives on".

[17] Aaron Williams, writing for Uproxx, opined the track is "especially poignant, as it isn't just a tribute to a fallen rapper but to a close friend and cohort".
