Composition

Critical reception
[edit]Elaina Bernstein of Hypebeast remarked the song proves Gunna and Turbo "to be one of the most locked in rapper-production duos in the current hip-hop space."[2] Shawn Grant of The Source wrote the song "highlights Gunna's evolving signature style, with introspective verses that lead into a powerful, emotionally charged refrain. Blending uplifting energy with stark reflection, the single showcases Gunna at his most thoughtful and poignant."[4]

Directed by Spike Jordan, it sees Gunna on vacation with Turbo in Spain,[5] where they play golf and cruise in a golf cart.[5][6] He also goes horseback riding at a racetrack in a barn,[6][7][8] drives in his Porsche,[8] and later stops by the Atlanta restaurant American Deli.[6] The rest of the clip features scenes of his Family Fall Fest event and Gunna's Great Giveaway, where he donates to the Atlanta community,[5][6][8] additionally showing carnival games and an inflatable slide.[7] At the end of the video, Gunna boards a private jet at the Van Nuys Airport and a snippet of his song "Got Damn" is previewed.[6]
