Background[]

The song was originally released in November 2019 as a track from YNW Melly's debut studio album Melly vs. Melvin.[1] The remix of the song, featuring Juice Wrld, was first previewed by Melly on Instagram on December 8, 2019, the same day that Juice Wrld died.[2] It was announced on March 11, 2020, and released two days later, following the song's virality on TikTok.[3] It is Juice's third posthumous feature, following his guest appearances on "Godzilla" by Eminem and "PTSD" by G Herbo.[4][5]

Composition[]

The lyrics deal with the consequences of anguish, hatred and depression that resulted from a contemptuous breakup. Melly sings about drinking Hennessy to forget about the relationship, only to worsen his condition by abusing alcohol. Thus, the love is described as "suicidal".[1]
