Songfacts®:

• This joint finds Playboi Carti vibing on the high life with weed, lean, and other drugs. He wants to get so lit that falling out the sky wouldn't even faze him.
• The song also contains references to Playboi Carti's former girlfriend, Iggy Azalea. She called him out for cheating and not holding it down for their son, Onyx. Carti spits about cutting ties with his ex – she isn't cooking or cleaning but still wants those boujee meals.
• The music video, directed by Nick Walker, shows Carti and his friends heading to the one party allowed in COVID times – at the grocery store.
• "Sky" is the 19th song on Playboi Carti's fifth studio album, Whole Lotta Red, which came out on December 25, 2020. The song peaked at #4 on Billboard's bubbling under Hot 100 chart 11 months later.
• Don't look for Whole Lotta Red to bring any holiday cheer; nah, each track is a showcase of Playboi Carti's signature vibe. It's all about that aggressive, off-the-wall production and his unmistakable voice setting the tone. No festive jingles here.
• Jung "Art Dealer" Cho's production blends video game-style synths with heavy-hitting 808s. A frequent collaborator of Playboi Carti, he worked on six other songs from Whole Lotta Red, including "@ Meh" and "Over."
• The song often trends on TikTok at the beginning of the month because of its "Wake up. It's the first of the month" lyric. The line is an homage to the chorus sung by Layzie and Bizzy Bone on Ohio hip-hop group Bone Thugs-N-Harmony's song "1st of tha Month."
