The song is also a collaboration with Slim Jxmmi, the other half of Rae Sremmurd, and was produced by Mally Mall, TuneDaRula and Rubin.
Composition
"Guatemala" is a afrobeats and dancehall-inspired song. It features a "minimal Caribbean-styled backbeat" and "airy synths" in the production. In Auto-Tune vocals, Swae Lee suggests to his girlfriend that they go on vacation to Guatemala, on private jets, and sings about "quiet moments of seduction". Slim Jxmmi's verse has been described as a blend of rapping and singing.
Music video

The video opens with a message noting this and with the words, "Our hearts and prayers are with the people of Guatemala." It shows Rae Sremmurd enjoying a vacation in Guatemala, where they dance with the locals and "finesse the ladies". The song also features cameos from Mike Will Made It and Mally Mall.
