Background
editQuavo alluded to the song during the weekend prior to its release in a Twitter post: "The Pain Won't Ever Go Away #RocketPower🚀 It's Time To Turn Yo Clicc Up Thru It All." He teased the song and its video on social media the night before it was released.[1]
Composition
editThe song features a "magnetic" beat[2] providing a "grimey and spacey soundscape" for the rappers' "gruff" flows.[3] Quavo performs the first verse and chorus, centering on maintaining his crew's high position and using his signature echoing ad-libs,[2][3][4] while Future performs the second verse, in which he disses football quarterback Russell Wilson, who married Future's ex-girlfriend Ciara ("Goyard bag, tote the cutter / I got it out the field, fuck Russell"),[2][3][5][6][7] and name-drops his other ex-girlfriends as well ("Go and ask Lori about the Patek / Then go and ask Joie and ask Dess").[3][7]
Critical reception
editAron A. of HotNewHipHop commented, "Quavo and Future's chemistry undoubtedly thrive every time they team up."[3] Tom Breihan of Stereogum wrote of the song, "It's the kind of breezy, effortless track that many of us would've taken for granted a few years ago. Now, after Takeoff's passing, anything that recalls the peak Migos era sounds weirdly comforting."[8]
