"Good Form" originally appeared on March 29, 2018 in a Mercedes-Benz commercial starring Minaj.[3][4][5] Instrumentals from the song could be heard at one point during the advertisement.[6] The song was included as a track on Minaj's album Queen, released on August 10, 2018.
A music video for the remix song was released on November 29, 2018 coincident with the song.[7] Directed by Colin Tilley, it stars Minaj and Wayne along with reality star Evelyn Lozada, actress Lauren London, the Clermont twins, and rappers Tyga, Gudda Gudda, and Marley G.[8][9][10] Charles Holmes of Rolling Stone described the video as "a full-length monument to twerking, and a sensual overload", as well as "an Oscar contender of a music video".[8]
Briana Younger of Pitchfork commented about the song: "the twerk-ready 'Good Form' showcase the rapper’s inimitable technique... Little tricks, like her play on the phonetics of 'good form,' which she alternates to sound like 'good for him,' are the kind of flourishes that set her apart",[11] Maeve McDermott from USA Today was positive towards the song; she stated, "[the song] is peak Nicki bravado – chest puffing and explicit – and a fitting counterpart to 'LLC,' as a pair of tracks with the stinging lyricism and bratty flows at which Minaj excels."[12] Israel Daramola of Spin listed the song as being a standout track from the album.[13] In HipHopDX, Trent Clark called it a "fraternal filler."[14]
Minaj performed the song live on November 4, 2018 in a medley, which featured "Woman Like Me" by British girlband Little Mix at the 2018 MTV Europe Music Awards.[15][16] She performed the single again, along with "Dip" with American rapper Tyga at the 44th People's Choice Awards.[17] Minaj also performed the song as part of her setlist on The Nicki Wrld Tour, during her shows in London and Birmingham.
For the week of December 8, 2018, the remix reached number 16 on the Billboard R&B/Hip Hop Digital Song Sales chart.[18] For the issue dated December 15, 2018, the song entered the US Billboard Hot 100 at number 60. It charted for a total of six weeks.[19]
