Background
editThe song debuted on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart at number 77 in the week of September 23, 2017.[4] It also made Bhabie the third-youngest solo artist of all time to chart on the Hot 100, behind JoJo[5] and Stevie Wonder.[6] Learning about her song's chart position on Spotify just a spot below Taylor Swift's much more publicized "Look What You Made Me Do" in streaming services, Bhabie told TMZ "[Swift's] someone who's been well-known for a long time and I'm someone who's just getting into the music game, and it's kinda crazy how I can just be one below her."[7] The song also appeared to reference rapper Tyga and his repossessed Maybach vehicle[8] as well as her father.[9]
The song's title originates from the -eaux suffix as the plural form of nouns ending in -eau in the French language and is also a common ending for historically Louisiana Cajun surnames like Boudreaux and Thibodeaux.[10]
