The single debuted at 87 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song was originally written for Schoolboy Q, but he turned it down.

Music video

The song's accompanying music video was uploaded on June 29, 2017 on Tyler's official YouTube channel. The music video was directed by Tyler under the pseudonym Wolf Haley. The music video features rapper Action Bronson's face being sewn onto Tyler's, as well as visual allusions to the 2017 film Get Out.

The video features rapper A$AP Rocky, who is the doctor performing the operation, and Tucker Tripp, who is Tyler's co-driver.
