Background and release

On December 21, 2022, Ice Spice first teased her single on a TikTok video, which amassed views from her fans.^[2] Four days later, Ice Spice premiered "In Ha Mood" on YouTube and SoundCloud. That same day American rapper Chance the Rapper took to his Instagram story to question if the song's lyric: "He a rapper but don't get a chance" was a reference to him. Ice Spice later clarified that the lyrics were unrelated to the rapper.^[3]

Composition

"In Ha Mood" was produced by RiotUSA, who has produced all previous Ice Spice singles.^[4] In the song, Ice Spice speaks about a man attempting to persuade her to stay with him, despite her desire to go to parties and enjoy herself. She also continues to flaunt her popularity when she steps out of her comfort zone.^[2]

In it, the Bronx drill rapper can be seen cruising around New York in a Jeep and rapping along to the song while shooting a wintery promo.^[7]
