Background



Mike Will Made It first teased the song on March 26, 2018. The song's release date was then announced by Swae Lee on April 17, 2018. The song premiered the next day on Beats 1, where Slim Jxmmi of Rae Sremmurd told Zane Lowe, "Travis Scott did his thing for sure man. Swae Lee came through with the crazy melodies, then I came through with the crazy verse." Jxmmi added the song gave him an "80's vibe". Lowe said the song was his "favorite Rae Sremmurd record ever".

Composition



"Close" is a trap song that finds Swae Lee and Slim Jxmmi telling their girlfriends that they are too close for comfort. Travis Scott sings first about taking drugs and drinking lean at the club. Swae Lee sings the second verse about not wanting to be screwed by his lover, as well as the hook: "You're so C-L-O-S-E to me / C-L-O-S-E to me (it's ruined) / I mean, seriously, can I breathe?" Slim Jxmmi raps about his habit of not committing to a woman but wanting to settle down eventually.

Music video



The music video was released on April 25, 2018 and directed by Mike Piscitelli. It begins with Travis Scott rapping in an old school Cadillac in front of a liquor store. Swae Lee is then seen strolling with a beautiful woman, who lures him into an alley. Halfway through the video, the woman is revealed to be a vampire and bites all three artists in the neck. Slim Jxmmi raps in the liquor store and faces a group of ghouls.
