Billboard Hot 100 after its release as the third single.[2][3] The song was produced by frequent collaborators

Background
The song is the sixth track on Migos' third studio album Culture II, which was released in January 2018.[4] It has become one of the more popular songs on the album, being the third-highest charting of all the songs, following "
Stir Fry", which peaked at number eight on the Hot 100, and "
MotorSport", which reached number six. American pop star
Britney Spears, used elements of the song in a remix of her hit-single "
I'm a Slave 4 U" during her
Piece of Me Tour.[5]
Music video
The music video, directed by
Daps and
Quavo, debuted on Migos' official
Vevo channel on March 18, 2018. The video features guest appearances from
Jamie Foxx and labelmate
Lil Yachty.[6] In the video, the trio and Drake perform on a fictional dance-themed show called Culture Ride (inspired by Soul Train), with Jamie Foxx playing fictional host Ron Delirious (a pun of the late Soul Train host
Don Cornelius). In an interview conducted by
Genius, Daps said that the whole video was shot on
Beta Tape,[7] which is why the highest quality is
480p on
YouTube.
Lawsuit
In October 2018, the group was sued by rapper M.O.S, who claimed that the song is similar to his 2007 song "Walk It Like I Talk It".[8] The lawsuit was later dismissed.
