Background and release

edit

The song was leaked in May 2019. Kelly stated in an interview with Zane Lowe that he was worried about including Barker on the song, in fear that the song might sound more like Barker's music style. According to Kelly, Yungblud freestyled and recorded his verse in 10 minutes.[5][6]

In the song, Kelly and Yungblud sing about the usage of substances and personal demons, while Barker handles the percussion. On the hook, Kelly criticizes his own reckless lifestyle and dangerous habits.

An acoustic version was released on July 1, 2024, as part of Hotel Diablo's five-anniversary deluxe release entitled “Hotel Diablo: Floor 13 Edition”.

Music video

edit

The music video was released June 14, 2019. Noah Cyrus and FaZe Clan co-owner FaZe Banks made cameos in the video. The video was directed by Andrew Sandler.[7][8] In under 24 hours, the music video surpassed one million views.[9]
