Songfacts®:

  • Migos team up with Gucci Mane for a song about women, jewelry, drugs and lean. Gucci Mane talks on his verse about how he's got plenty of swagger and style but isn't "slippin" (getting caught off guard).
  • Previous collaborations between Migos and their fellow Atlantan Gucci Mane include 2013's "Dennis Rodman" and 2016's "Now."
  • The beat was supplied by Deko ("One Time" by Migos) and OG Parker ("Bad Intentions" by Niykee Heaton featuring Migos). Parker told Revolt the pair came up with the production in his Atlanta house. He sent it to Quavo that night, and the Migos rapper told him he loved it and predicted it would be a hit. "It's a weird beat," Parker added. "I knew he'd like the drums because I know how they like to flow on beats. But, I knew the first sound was so weird."
