Background and composition
[edit]Gunna previewed "Banking on Me" through an Instagram story in late 2021.[2] On January 11, 2022, he released the deluxe edition of his third studio album, DS4Ever, with the song being one of four new tracks, but removed the deluxe edition the same day. Gunna later released it as a single on Valentine's Day.[3] Gunna raps over romantic piano lines with crudely suggestive lyrics, saying he would not want to "get tired" of his girlfriend, who delivers sexual variety.[4][5]
