Background

According to Flo Milli, she was a "very depressed girl" at the time she wrote the song, and was smoking and freestyle rapping to a beat. The song sees her taking shots at her haters.[1][2]

The song was first released in October 2018.[3] It first gained traction through Instagram edit and meme videos.[1][2] Rapper Dbangz showed the meme to his manager, Vonsin Faniyi, who contacted Milli about promoting the song on TikTok.[1] Faniyi paid TikTok star Michael Pelchat (also known as Nice Michael) $200 to use the song in one of his videos[citation needed]. A dance to the song was created and went viral on TikTok.[1][4] The success of the song led to Flo Milli signing to '94 Sounds and RCA Records. In April 2019, the song reached Number Two on Spotify's Viral 50 Chart.[1] It was released to digital download and streaming services on June 10, 2019.[5]

Critical reception

Critics have praised the song for its confident tone.[6] Elias Leight of Rolling Stone gave the song a mixed review, writing, "The melody is lazy, almost nonsensical, a series of notes assembled seemingly at random. Flo Milli's lines, in contrast, are pointed and direct: 'I do what I please, and you do what I ask.'"[1] Robby Seabrook III of XXL wrote, "Flo's spin on the song is refreshing, using her sharp-yet-fluid flow to brag, issue threats and flex."[3]
