Background and release

Logic recorded the song in summer 2017 while on tour. [8] He announced the song a day before its release. In the accompanying snippet, Logic speaks to his hater, rapping: "Can't let fame go to your head/ F--- with me watch where you tread/ I'm finna kill it instead". [9] The song features references to singers Katy Perry and Harry Styles. Logic's third studio album Everybody outsold Katy Perry's Witness and Harry Styles' self-titled solo debut album in its first week in the United States. [10] "Sold more albums my first week than Harry Styles and Katy Perry/If that ain't a sign of the times then I don't know what is, man this sh*t is scary," he raps. [11]

Critical reception

Aron A. of HotNewHipHop praised the song, calling it a "proof of [Logic's] abilities as an emcee", writing: "The production bangs heavy throughout this track and Logic showcases his slick wordplay and versatile flows throughout." [14] Bianca Gracie of Fuse felt the song "gives the mainstream side a different side of the rapper" and thinks that it "will earn respect from lovers of rap music". [15] Tony Centeno of Vibe complimented Logic for "delivering a brand new extensive verse filled with nothing but rapid-fire wordplay". [16]
