The song was met with generally positive reviews. Karlton Jahmal of HotNewHipHop wrote that the song "sounds polished to perfection", adding, "His vocals are mixed immaculately over calming synths. The kicks on the instrumental will cause you to nod your head the moment they drop and the addicting chorus is already stuck in my head."[3]
Billboard magazine ranked it 71st on their list of the 100 Best Songs of 2019, calling it his "mightiest 2019 single".[4]
The music video was uploaded on YouTube the day before the single was released. It was directed by Spike Jordan and Sebastian Sduigui. The video begins with a boy entering an "alternate universe of winter wonderland".[5] The setting then shifts to that of a mansion, with snow falling from the ceiling. Future walks through the mansion in various outfits, followed by ballerinas and "some creepy crawlers like tarantulas and scorpions".[6][7]
In January 2019, Future performed the song at The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and The Ellen DeGeneres Show.[8][9]
