Background

Under the EP 1-888-88-DREAM, the single was released with "Down Bad" on Wednesday, June 12. The EP’s title is referencing the “1-888-88-DREAM” phone number that Cole used to announce the original Revenge of the Dreamers in 2014.^[3] Dreamville representatives used hotline phone number to talk to fans and also play some exclusive tracks from the label's compilation album.^[2]

Composition

The song is produced by Deputy, OZ, and MD Beatz. It contains a sample of "Come Over" by Faith Evans from her debut studio album Faith.^[4]^[5]^[6] Although being uncredited, Ari Lennox said Deante' Hitchcock, Vincent Berry, and Yung Baby Tate helped write her verse for the song.^[7]

Critical reception

Erika Marie of HotNewHipHop called the song a "sultry R&B jam" and said it "is a song that you can dedicate to that special somebody or groove to when you're cruising around on a hot summer night." The writer continued to mention that it is a nice balance and shows that Revenge of The Dreamers is cooking up an album that will have a little something for everyone."^[8]
