Reception
The song received mixed to negative reviews from critics. 'Variety' included it in their list of the worst songs of 2021, saying that "this hookup between two of the Ms in the address book of musics most eager-to-collaborate stars is evidence of the avalanche of pop/rap duets where both the performers and their characters dont sound like they exist in the same universe".
