Yeah, you know better.

[DemonMic2003 6,247]

See i get what you were trying to say (complimenting that looks good) but terrence you couldve worded that more appropretly and much less insensitive.

Did people really expect a lyrical master piece from a Lana x Quavo collab? It’s not the best song ever but it’s really on par with Summer Bummer/Groupie Love

[MamaDelGhey 2,244]

Maddox’s original lyrics “like a bullet made out of brass” make so much more sense than .38, ain’t nobody want a fuckin gun made out of brass. Why did they change it 

[Churchome Rep 3,320]

I thought the writers were for Quavo’s verses but it seems like it was the chorus?

 

Feels like this is Lana playing nice to the Nashville music scene which is very insular 

[Mer 55,410]

It’s a fun song. I feel like it was lyrically designed for a lucrative deal as the music in a car commercial though. I hope she gets that coin either way. 

[Bluelake 2,644]

It may not be a masterpiece, but I do like the song’s lyrics Ok

 

“If you come from where you come, then you were born tough” 

I like the song for its melody and vocals most of all 

 

question: would you guys be okay if Lana took this sound direction herself with her regular writing style?

quite the opposite for me. the lyrics are a bit goofy, sure, but her hillbilly antics are somewhat endearing. i can't get behind the sound at all, though lol

[aGlassShipThatCanFly 6,042]

No wonder this isn’t billed as a Lana song and she isn’t promoting too much. She barely wrote it - and that’s fine! It’s a fun, summery, one-off hit to hold us over until what’s to come

i’m confused… so did he write the chorus originally, and clay reworked it?

Right I’m confused too. I don’t get what Clay added to this song.

This makes sense. I don’t think he contributed to any of the lyrics either. He didn’t tag Clay in his post at least. 

 

It appears the original chorus idea came from a female song writer named Elysse Yulo. She was tagged in that kid Maddox's pic. She posted a voice memo of her trying to come up with the original melody. Guessing she then played it for other writers and Maddox...then somehow Clay got ahold of it.

 

I'm guessing Lana wrote the bridge portion, and some other parts, just not the chorus 🤷🏼‍♂️

I feel like three people now are claiming it’s their original Chorus idea, I’m confused who actually wrote it of these people?

How many rednecks does it take to write a song for a truck commercial

[Veinsineon 73,426]

well that was something!

Okay that makes me feel better about thinking that this is her worst song ever lyrically 

Overall... I think the song is just fine. It feels very demoy to me honestly

 

The highlight really is the bridge and her vocals 

Girl, at least this is a fun song. She was actually serious on 'Beautiful' 

[69 Million Stars 458]

Hella people have their hands in the kitty writing credits but idrc, I love this song especially after the heaviness of DYKTTATUOB, it’s nice to have a summer bop. 

[Lanas Candy Necklace 42]

The song has been out for 12 hours and yall are already bashing it. Let the song breath a little dang🤦‍♀️

[love deluxe 8,664]

this song is sooo fun i didn’t realize how much i missed summer trap lana 😭😭😭🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

also are ppl hating fr? i feel like we were all so excited and they both delivered exactly what we expected… a fun summer bop with a country western flavored trap beat and some fun vocal moments from both quavo and lana. can’t wrap my mind around not enjoying this tbh.

[Bluelake 2,644]

Imagine this is the song that gets her a Grammy
