Songfacts®:

  • "Whatchu Kno About Me" is an assertive, no-apologies-given anthem where GloRilla and Sexyy Red showcase their fierce attitudes. The track is drenched in female empowerment, with both rappers serving up verses that scream confidence, independence, and the kind of take-no-prisoners attitude that would make even the boldest competitors rethink their life choices.
  • The track samples Boosie Badazz's 2007 hit "Wipe Me Down," with GloRilla adopting Boosie's cadence right from the get-go. And if you're wondering whether they fully embraced the throwback vibes, fear not - GloRilla drops the "Wipe me down" line in her verse, just to make sure the homage sticks.
  • The brains behind the song's twerk-worthy, fist-pumping beat are Yo Gotti, Lil Ronnie, and Ace Charisma. Yo Gotti, in particular, had more than a passing interest in the project - he's also the founder of GloRilla's label, Collective Music Group.

    Lil Ronnie, meanwhile, is the guy who helped craft GloRilla's "Yeah Glo!," while Ace Charisma had a hand in her collaboration with Megan Thee Stallion, "How I Look."
  • Benny Boom directed the music video, which is pretty much what you'd get if you crossed a beauty salon with a full-on party and added fur coats, metallic bikinis, and fuzzy boots. GloRilla and Sexyy Red rap and shake their way through the visual against a bright pink backdrop, while Boosie Badazz pops up at the salon to add a bit of levity to all the fabulousness.
  • "Whatchu Kno About Me" became a TikTok sensation in November 2024 thanks to a viral trend centered on GloRilla's assertive lyric:

    B---h, I'm from Memphis, what you know about me
    Big G-L-O in that GLE


    The trend found users lip-syncing the lyric.
