The single was released on December 25, 2014, and a music video for the song was released on October 19, 2015.[2] Four days later, on October 23, 2015, Drake posted a video on Instagram of him dancing to the song in his private jet.[3] The video became popular, leading to Kodak Black achieving national popularity.[4]
Elias Leight wrote in The Fader that the song's beat "combines a stream of percussion and a few floating keyboard notes", and noted "fierce, distressed qualities to Kodak's loneliness".[2] Zara Golden called the track melancholy.[5]
The Canadian rapper Roy Woods released a remix of the song on January 30, 2016.[6]
