Composition and critical reception
editOver a psychedelic instrumental, Toliver and Scott individually sing on the chorus: "New checks on me, they clear / Got her naked on the terrace / Got my diamonds on in Paris / Got my diamonds on, embarrassed".[2] The two artists reference their luxurious items like diamonds and sexual encounters.[3] Maximilian Diehl of Baylor Lariat felt that "this song is a genuine disappointment to me", saying that "maybe it's less 'bad' than it is underwhelming for having the continually dynamic 'Astroworld' star make an appearance".[4]
