"Every Chance I Get" is a song by American record producer DJ Khaled featuring American rappers Lil Baby and Lil Durk. It was sent to rhythmic contemporary radio as the third single off the former's twelfth studio album, Khaled Khaled, on May 11, 2021. The song received mostly positive responses from critics, with some deeming it a highlight off the album. Lyrically, it sees the rappers boasting about their successes.

Background and composition

According to Khaled, Durk sent his verse back the same day Khaled sent him the track. Although Baby and Durk had been teasing a collaborative album, which would later be revealed to be titled The Voice of the Heroes and released on June 4, 2021, Khaled said that he had "Every Chance I Get" long before the duo were planning on working together.{{cite web|url=https://www.rap-up.com/2021/05/04/dj-khaled-lil-baby-lil-durk-every-chance-i-get-video/amp/|title=Watch DJ Khaled's 'Every Chance I Get' Video with Lil Baby & Lil Durk|work=Rap-Up|date=May 4, 2021|access-date=May 10, 2021|archive-date=May 9, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210509074106/https://www.rap-up.com/2021/05/04/dj-khaled-lil-baby-lil-durk-every-chance-i-get-video/amp/|url-status=live}} The song is one of three tracks off Khaled Khaled to feature Lil Baby, along with "I Did It" and "Body in Motion".

Critical reception

In their album review, Rolling Stone{{'}}s Jeff Ihaza named the song one of the "shining moments" on the album, praising Baby and Durk's "explosive bars", and said they "are operating at a new peak". Clash{{'}}s Robin Murray agreed, calling it a "real golden moment" on Khaled Khaled.{{cite web|url=https://www.clashmusic.com/reviews/dj-khaled-khaled-khaled|title=J Khaled - Khaled Khaled|work=Clash|last=Murray|first=Robin|date=April 30, 2021|access-date=May 10, 2021|archive-date=May 12, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210512082613/https://www.clashmusic.com/reviews/dj-khaled-khaled-khaled|url-status=live}} NME{{'}}s Luke Morgan Britton singled out Lil Baby for delivering a "standout" feature, stating that it shows "why he's one of the most effortless rappers right now". Stereogum{{'}}s Chris DeVille ranked the song as the second-best on the album, stating: "Sometimes it's as easy as throwing two of the most reliably compelling sing-rap stars in the game over a thundering Tay Keith production".{{cite web|url=https://www.stereogum.com/2146215/dj-khaled-khaled-khaled-review/columns/the-week-in-pop/|title=Ranking The Songs On DJ Khaled's Latest Celebrity Dogpile|work=Stereogum|last=DeVille|first=Chris|date=May 3, 2021|access-date=May 10, 2021|archive-date=June 13, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210613212701/https://www.stereogum.com/2146215/dj-khaled-khaled-khaled-review/columns/the-week-in-pop/|url-status=live}} Mitch Findlay of HotNewHipHop called the song a highlight off the album, writing: "Though it should no longer be expected to see a rapper bringing their A-game to a DJ Khaled project (the days of 'We Takin Over' are, alas, over), Lil Baby and Durk bring the passion that has come to be associated with their brand".{{cite web|url=https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/dj-khaled-taps-lil-baby-and-lil-durk-for-every-chance-i-get-new-song.1991125.html?|title=DJ Khaled Taps Lil Baby & Lil Durk For "Every Chance I Get"|work=HotNewHipHop|last=Findlay|first=Mitch|date=April 30, 2021|access-date=May 10, 2021|archive-date=May 11, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210511185639/https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/dj-khaled-taps-lil-baby-and-lil-durk-for-every-chance-i-get-new-song.1991125.html|url-status=live}} Complex{{'}}s Eric Skelton said the song is a good preview of Baby and Durk's collaborative album: "Pulling off the best rap collaboration on the whole album, their chemistry is undeniable as Durk punctuates the end of each of Baby's verses by singing, 'Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah'{{-"}}.{{cite web|url=https://www.complex.com/music/dj-khaled-khaled-album-things-we-learned/|title=10 Things We Learned From DJ Khaled's New Album 'Khaled Khaled'|work=Complex|last1=Gee|first1=Andre|last2=McKinney|first2=Jessica|last3=Skelton|first3=Eric|date=May 7, 2021|access-date=May 10, 2021|archive-date=May 11, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210511185637/https://www.complex.com/music/dj-khaled-khaled-album-things-we-learned/|url-status=live}} Conversely, Variety{{'}}s A.D Amorosi called the song turgid and said it "goes nowhere".{{cite web|url=https://variety.com/2021/music/album-reviews/dj-khaled-album-review-superstar-guests-1234963954/|title=DJ Khaled Scores as Summer Party Host With Superstar-Studded 'Khaled Khaled': Album Review|work=Variety|last=Amorosi|first=A.D|date=April 30, 2021|access-date=May 10, 2021|archive-date=June 7, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210607214841/https://variety.com/2021/music/album-reviews/dj-khaled-album-review-superstar-guests-1234963954/|url-status=live}}
