It was released through Freebandz (under the business name Wilburn Holding Co), Boominati Worldwide, Epic Records, and Republic as the opening track from their collaborative studio album of the same name on March 22, 2024.
Michael Saponara of Billboard ranked "We Don't Trust You" as the best song on its titular album.
Saponara thought that Future was taking shots at his previous collaborator, Drake who was feuding with Metro Boomin.
[1] Writing for Clash, Robin Murray stated that the song "opens the record on a note of paranoia, the chirruping snare trills emanating menacingly in the background".
[2] HipHopDX's Scott Glasher described the song as "a slow burning trap by numbers heater".
