Composition
Meaghan Garvey of Pitchfork called the song "a Midwestern rap romance averse to gooey histrionics, where being ride-or-die is not so much a glamorous choice but a given."[2] Lil Durk and Dej Loaf take the role of a couple in love;[3] in Auto-Tuned vocals, Durk professes his "devotion and infatuation" for Loaf,[4] whom he calls his "Beyoncé", singing, "Ooh I like the way she move / Shawty my baby, my everything, she the truth".[5] Loaf also expresses her love, singing, "Leave your girl, be through with that / Get with DeJ, he ain't never going back" and "Durk and Dej, I'm thinking about changing my last name".[1][5][6]
Music video
A music video for the song was released on January 11, 2016. It features Lil Durk and Dej Loaf at a basketball court, where they rap and shoot hoops.[7][8]
