Composition

The song has been described as similar in style to rapper Hopsin's "Ill Mind" saga, particularly due to its use of "dark, carnival-esque instrumental and the emotional yet violently charged lyrical nature." It finds NF pondering difficult questions, beginning with "what's your definition of success?"[1] He reflects on how he has been questioning his talents since his "Let You Down" was certified triple platinum,[2] as well as his insecurities and feelings of angst.[1] In the end, he admits people do not know him well.[2]

Music video

The music video was released alongside the single. It sees NF holding black balloons[1] and in a dark, abandoned storefront, where he rides in a shopping cart. He can also be seen wearing "Joker-esque" makeup. The video ends with him sitting alone before the screen fades to black.[2]
