Songfacts®:

  • Here Tion Wayne and ArrDee team up to trade rhymes about girls that are "wid it" ("with it"). The pair also flex about their whips, and during the chorus, Tion Wayne references his Lamborghini Urus SUV.

    Good gracious, bumper looking persuasive (Boom)
    Said the Lambo Urus is spacious, fam


    Wayne features Uruses in both his "Wow" and "Wid It" videos.
  • This is the second collaboration between Tion Wayne and ArrDee following Ardee's verse on the remix of Wayne and Russ Millions' UK #1 hit "Body." On that track Wayne rapped about the "African girl, Adeola" with a "Body-ody shaped like Cola." He harks back to the same on this song when he raps:

    Chauffeur with Adeola when I tell her
    Baby, you my black Cinderella
  • London producer Gotcha created the drill heater's synthy beat. Gotcha also supplied the instrumentation for "Body."
  • This is Tion Wayne's sixth UK Top 20 hit. His chart success comes from combining club-friendly songs with provocative lyrics. He raps here:

    I got blonde girls coming to my show
    Even though their dad is a racist


    Wayne told The Guardian: "I was thinking: is this going to trigger anyone? And I thought: the only people this can trigger is racist people. I'm not one of them rappers that every second puts on this persona [that] they're some bad boy. Like, when I'm with the mandem and we're licked [drunk], we're all just dancing around. When I'm in a studio, I can put that vibe into my music."
