Composition
The production in the song contains synthesized strings, which Marshall Gu of Pretty Much Amazing described as "sounding like squeaky metal".{{cite web|url=https://prettymuchamazing.com/reviews/metro-boomin-21-savage-gucci-mane|title=Reviews: Metro Boomin|work=Pretty Much Amazing|last=Gu|first=Marshall|date=November 15, 2017|access-date=February 14, 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171116133734/https://prettymuchamazing.com/reviews/metro-boomin-21-savage-gucci-mane|archive-date=November 16, 2017|url-status=live}} The song revolves around the rappers' lifestyle of luxury goods, as they make references to items such as French couture, Swiss watches, and Austrian firearms.{{cite web|url=https://consequenceofsound.net/2017/11/album-review-21-savage-offset-and-metro-boomin-without-warning/|title=21 Savage, Offset, and Metro Boomin – Without Warning|work=Consequence|last=Suarez|first=Gary|date=November 6, 2017|access-date=February 14, 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171107104329/https://consequenceofsound.net/2017/11/album-review-21-savage-offset-and-metro-boomin-without-warning/|archive-date=November 7, 2017|url-status=live}}
Critical reception
Sheldon Pearce of Pitchfork praised the "understated tectonic shift" within the instrumental during Offset's verse, as one of the signs of the production's "balance between ghostly and ghastly" throughout Without Warning.{{cite web|url=https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/21-savage-offset-metro-boomin-without-warning/|title=21 Savage / Offset / Metro Boomin: Without Warning Album Review|work=Pitchfork|last=Pearce|first=Sheldon|date=November 3, 2017|access-date=November 3, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171103081606/https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/21-savage-offset-metro-boomin-without-warning/|archive-date=November 3, 2017|url-status=live}}
