[1] On November 20, 2017, Marshmello worked a live tribute into his performance at GoldRush Festival in Arizona, by mixing the rapper's song "Beamer Boy" into his set, as a large image of Peep reading "RIP" appeared on the screen behind him.
He wrote in a tweet: "I didn't plan on releasing the song until peeps mom reached out and told me she wanted her sons music to come out...what am I supposed to do?
[21] Similarly, Eric Skelton of Complex opined that it strays away from Marshmello's style, and "is more in line with the grungy pop-punk aesthetic Lil Peep was known for".
[22] Your EDM's Karlie Powell also wrote: "Don't expect the usual, bubbly Marshmello beat, because Lil Peep's bold style is front and center on this one.
"[23] Jon Wiederhorn of CBS Radio wrote: "The melancholy track combines melodic vocals with smooth rapping and the lyrics address a painful breakup.
"[24] Molly Hudelson of Substream Magazine opined that it is "more somber in sound than most of Marshmello's releases", and found "the themes of heartache and feeling 'all alone again' are relatable to anyone who's gone through a breakup or otherwise lost someone they loved".
