It serves as the second single from his debut mixtape 'We Love You Tecca'. The song was produced by Nick Mira and Taz Taylor, and debuted at number 93 on the US 'Billboard' Hot 100 before reaching number 4.

It was later followed up by a remix with fellow rapper Juice Wrld in August 2019. BackgroundThe song was considered the breakthrough of Queens-based rapper Lil Tecca, who began releasing songs through SoundCloud in 2018. Critical receptionSheldon Pearce of 'Pitchfork' said Lil Tecca's "bounce in his singsong flows owes a lot to" AutoTune, and his "bittersweet melodies are as indebted to local hero A Boogie wit da Hoodie as they are sourpuss king Juice Wrld". Although finding that the lyrics follow the "traditional rapper playbook practically to the letter, Pearce said "even now he's capable of making the profound seem simple". Music videoThe music video was released on May 22, 2019, and was directed and edited by Cole Bennett. It was shot in the Dominican Republic. RemixOn August 14, 2019, Lil Tecca released the remix of the song on his SoundCloud with Juice Wrld, who has also worked with Nick Mira on other songs, including "Lucid Dreams". The remix was released on other platforms the following day. The track was mixed by Taz Taylor and Nick Mira.
