The song marks the beginning of his adoption of a melodic approach to rapping, distinct from his drill style.[2][3][4] It features piano in the production, over which Polo sings about his pain and trauma from the frequent violence in the streets,[3][4] as well as departing from his past and starting a new life.[5]

    Music video[edit]

    A music video for the song was released in August 2018. It sees Polo G on the streets with his friends, as well as interspersed clips of him and his family at a beach.[2]
