The instrumental of the song is a modified version of that of "Hot in Herre", with deeper bass and sharper snares in the drums. The lyrics deal with similar topics to that of the original song, though NLE Choppa performs in a different flow; he also sings the chorus of "Hot in Herre", which are followed by vocally reimagined female background vocals.Reception
The song was met with mixed reception from fans. Nelly expressed approval of the homage, reposting the video with a comment "Go Up Nephew". In contrast, the song also received adverse criticism on social media. Millennial writers Alex Suskind and Hershal Pandya of ''Vulture'' debated the merit of NLE Choppa's remaking of "Hot in Herre". Choppa appeared to be unbothered about the negative reactions, even responding with laughing emojis and confident comments.Music video
