Composition and lyrics
The song features a "bass-heavy midtempo groove that highlights Harlow's catchy flows".[2] Jack Harlow pays homage to the NBA player Tyler Herro, a friend of his,[3] rapping: "My homeboy Tyler he play in South Beach / He told me this summer he gon' fix my jumper". He also mentions having made a new group of friends: "I brought a gang to the party with me / Five white boys, but they not NSYNC".[4]
