Composition and lyrics

The song is about the artists' disloyalty and their exes.[3] It opens with Ty Dolla Sign referencing "Where I Wanna Be" by Donell Jones in the chorus: "I just text my main chick (main) / I told her I ain't coming home (home) / I just text my main chick (main) / I told her I ain't coming home, tonight (home)".[2][4][5] He "gets to the heart of his plan" in the first verse, singing, "Mixing Henny with the Bombay (Bomb') / Fuck it, I done had a long day (oh) / I done linked up with my old thing / Right time, but the wrong place".[4] YG then raps about his single life, on jet skis with "naked" women ("Leave your main squeeze for these naked bitches, yeah / That's how, you know, when it's all bad / She call me, I text her I could call back / But she imagine in her head I'm doing all that").[5]

Critical reception

Kevin Goddard of HotNewHipHop wrote that Ty Dolla Sign "delivers a radio-friendly club banger that finds him addressing relationship issues with his 'ex' girl."[6] Vice Media called the song a "breezy piece of libidinous R&B that mostly involves Ty Dolla $ign mixing drinks and thinking about hooking back up with a former lover".[7]

Music video

The music video was released on January 18, 2018. Directed by David Camarena, it finds Ty Dolla Sign cruising through a city in a vintage car with hydraulics, then entering a party surrounded by many women, before he is seen in a room bathed in red lights with a woman wearing lingerie waits for him. Ty later meets up with YG, as they show off old-school cars and go partying.[8][9]
