Produced by Kunica and Glockie Cheez, the song was released on January 3, 2025, after which it immediately gained traction online and became his breakout hit.

[15] It became popularly played in locker rooms of NBA and NFL teams[16] and received praise from many celebrities, including rappers Cam'ron, Cardi B, Drake, Eminem, Joe Budden, Lil Yachty, Mase, Meek Mill and T-Pain.

[9][12][18] Performing in a singsong flow,[6] Gelo brags about spending money luxuriously and time with women and rising to fame,[16] as well as how he "might swerve, bend that corner (whoa)" in a new car during the chorus.

For rap fans of a certain age, it brings back an era with near-tactile precision; for younger ones who don't remember the specifics, it turns those memories into an enviable aesthetic."

His 'woahs' and 'ahhs' are catchy and it's hilarious to imagine the Ball brothers sitting around their mansion studying Big Tymers tapes and 70th Street Carlos loosies.

[12] Jon Caramanica of The New York Times described the song as "deceptively lo-fi and unwieldy, but directly effective — art passing as a joke."

The beat is built around a piano figure that sounds accidental, or drunk, like it was played with chubby fingers, adding to the song's air of legitimate-illegitimate uncertainty.

"[8] Andre Gee of Rolling Stone wrote "The verses are animated but pretty ordinary; the main moment here is the chorus, which feels plucked straight from the tall tee era."

[19] The clip starts with Gelo and his brothers Lonzo and LaMelo Ball riding around in a yellow Hummer, before entering a nightclub where he parties with women.
