About this song
The song is the first single from Injury Reserve's debut album and was chosen as the teaser track to act as a palate cleanser for the new record. Ritchie described it as a way to get fans to drop any expectations built from earlier projects and to welcome the new sounds on the album. It features Rico Nasty, and the lead singer of the band Pro Teens sings the hook. Aminé, who served as creative consultant on the album, previously collaborated with the trio on "Campfire" and with Rico Nasty on "SUGARPARENTS."
What it's about
The song critiques modern fashion, including Instagram models, hip hop's obsession with shoes, and stereotypes about how Black women should style their hair, along with broader stereotypes. It also subtly critiques Kanye West as a fashion mogul, and the title hints at his song "Through The Wire."
