A music video for "ATM" was released on April 20, 2018, the same day as the release of the album. The video was directed by Cole and Scott Lazer. Cole plays multiple roles in the video, such as wrapped in a black leather straitjacket locked in a room padded with $100 bills. He also loses all his chips at a blackjack table and literally pays an arm and a leg for a used car. He also thanked Busta Rhymes for his 1998 music video "Gimme Some More" saying "Flipmode is the greatest. Thank you for the inspiration big bro."

Critical reception

Spin said "Like spiking the candy bowl with medicine, he adapts the stylistic tics—triplets and trap drums, mostly—of so-called mumble and Soundcloud rappers, many of whom revel in the vices he's denouncing. "ATM" and its Hype Williams-styled video is perhaps the best example. Complete with a hyper-repetitive chorus, he satirizes capitalistic greed with the bluster of a club banger." Vice said "ATM" at times feels like a parody of contemporary rappers when his elected flow and content are considered along with each.

Accolades

Its official music video received two nominations for Best Hip-Hop Video and Best Art Direction at the 2018 MTV Video Music Awards.

Usage in media

The song was featured in the official 2018 NBA Playoffs commercial for ESPN.

Chart performance

Upon its first week of release, "ATM" debuted at number six on the US Billboard Hot 100. The song is J. Cole's fourth highest-charting song after "Amari," "Middle Child," and "My Life," respectively. On July 29, 2020, "ATM" was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for combined sales of one million units in the United States.
