Composition
editThe 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
editLil 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
editThe 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]
