It features uncredited vocals from American rappers ASAP Rocky and SoGone SoFlexy, American singer Ryan Beatty and Canadian singer Shawn Mendes.
The instrumental of the song uses a whistle.[1] ASAP Rocky raps the opening verse,[2][3] in which he references the song "Sick of Being Lonely" by Field Mob. Ryan Beatty and Shawn Mendes provide vocals in the chorus.[2] SoGone SoFlexy and Matt Champion perform the second and third verses respectively.[3]
On Twitter, Kevin Abstract described the song as having "Summer time vibes. Ride around with the windows down with ya best friend singing super loud to the chorus type vibe – shows the other side of the album."[4]
An official music video premiered on April 13, 2021. Directed by Kevin Abstract and Dan Streit, it stars singers Lil Nas X and Dominic Fike as romantic lovers, opening with them driving down a road in the countryside in a Jeep as they converse about musical tastes. Fike says he listens to Radiohead, which Nas makes a joke about.[5][6][7][8][9][10][11] They blast the song through the car's speakers.[8] By nightfall, they travel into a quiet and secluded forest,[5][9][11][12][13][14] where they stroll through and explore the area as they are surrounded by thick trees under the moonlight,[6][8][15] reaching a river while lightning flashes overhead.[5] The pair soon have a drug-fueled hallucinatory experience, turning into computer-animated versions of themselves as well as warped, rubbery figures,[5][16] and encounter some spooky creatures.[14] The song stops early[13] as the two kiss passionately on the river bank[5][11][14][15] and make out,[7][10][12] embracing topless in the creek before sinking.[6][8][10][13][15] The visual ends with their animated nude bodies intertwining[12][13] until they become one form.[10][13]
