Songfacts®:

  • Lil Uzi Vert's Eternal Atake album is split into three parts during which he takes on three different personas: "Baby Pluto," "Renji" and "Lil Uzi Vert." The rapper's extraterrestrial alter ego "Baby Pluto" is his most braggadocios one, and here he boasts about his luxury watch.

    Got a Richard Mille, this not a silly watch
    All this money make me wan' hit my Diddy Bop


    Richard Mille is a Swiss luxury watchmaking brand whose hugely expensive wristwear are frequently namechecked by rappers. ("I do what I want, Tom Ford on the yacht. Richard Mille my watch, thousand dollar Crocs" – Post Malone's "I'm Gonna Be").
  • Bragging about expensive timepieces is a frequent theme for Lil Uzi Vert. Other examples include his single "New Patek" and his verse on Travis Scott's "Watch."
  • The rest of the song features similarly boastful lyrics about the rapper's riches and sexual prowess with women.
  • "Silly Watch" was originally teased as "40 Glock" when Uzi fan pages got their hands on a snippet of the song.
  • Supah Mario supplied the piano-driven production. The South Carolina beatmaker also co-produced "That Way" track.
