Composition

edit

The song blends elements of country and hip hop music. It uses a hip-hop beat including jangly acoustic guitar samples. In the choruses and her verse, Jessie Murph talks about the type of people she finds attractive and describes them as "wild ones" that would have “a .45 on ‘em” and be driving recklessly at 102 mph. Jelly Roll combines singing and rapping while his lyrics focus on his wife, Bunnie XO, whom he also mentions by name in his verse.[1]
