The song is a showcase for all of the things that make Jxmmi talent's undeniable. Productive, direct, and brief, Slim understands how to craft an infectious hook that does enough and never also much. "Take her to Chanel, 'cause she fine" relentlessly repeated shouldn't work as a hook. It is so simple it borders on unoriginal, yet Jxmmi is a salesman. By the fourth time you hear the phrase, taking that special someone to Chanel sounds like a sane idea.


Pharrell and Swae also show up for the assist. Skateboard P uses a stilted falsetto across his verse and adlibs on the chorus. His "Gotcha like J.R. With the eyes" is a blink and you also miss it bar that is more clever than it has any right to be. Swae decides to put his more melodic inclinations on ice to match his brother's energy with a nice 16 bar rap.
