Songfacts®:

  • "Owa Owa" is a blend of flex-heavy bars and carefree energy. The track centers around Lil Tecca's signature lifestyle: fast moves, luxury items, and a roster of casual sex partners.
  • The production samples the "owa-owa" refrain from The Buggles' late-70s' synth classic "Video Killed The Radio Star." It's used as a playful response from Tecca's love interest to his pricey gifts and bedroom acrobatics.

    Nicki Minaj and will.i.am previously used the sample for their 2010 collaboration "Check It Out."
  • The woozy, melodic beat is the handiwork of Taz Taylor and Rio Leyva.

    Taz Taylor, a Florida native and founder of the Internet Money collective, made his name selling beats online, before turning Internet Money into a veritable trap music factory. His credits include tracks for Juice WRLD, Drake, and Trippie Redd, and he's worked with Lil Tecca before on hits like "Ransom" and "500lbs."

    Hailing from Portland, Oregon, Rio Leyva is a member of the Internet Money collective. His previous credits include Drake's "BackOutsideBoyz" and Rich Amiri's "One Call."
  • The Gualo Hawes-directed music video shows Lil Tecca performing in front of a wall graffitied with the word "Dopamine," whisking his partner off to the arcade chain Round One and wandering through a grassy field.
