Composition
[edit]The song opens with an old school jazz rap sound,[1] over which rapper Saweetie talks about the new things she wants,[1][2] before the beat switches to a modern style.[1] The lyrics of the song revolve around the three artists' lavish lifestyles, including money and women.[2][3]
Critical reception
[edit]Lil Wayne's performance was particularly praised by music critics. Zachary Horvath of HotNewHipHop commented he "brings some clever rhymes" to the song,[1] while Marc Griffin of Vibe stated Wayne had the standout verse on the track and his "clever punchlines give his delivery that classic feel."[2]
Music video
[edit]The music video was released alongside the single. Directed by Jack Bridgland, it begins with Saweetie asking for the items she wants. The clip sees the three rappers in a dimly lit warehouse, where each of them perform their verses in different sections of the facility. It also shows women eating lollipops in front of the camera, exotic dancers in a red-tinted room, and men lifting weights in the background.[2][3]
