  • Here, Drake links up with Fivio Foreign and Sosa Geek, two rappers who have gained prominence in the New York drill scene. Both are members of the Brooklyn-based Woo gang, whose best-known member was the late Pop Smoke. Drake shouts out both of them on the hook by making use of Fivio's slang.

    Drake is comparing the size of his Toronto-Dominion Bank (TD Bank) to that of socialite and billionaire businesswoman Kylie Jenner.
  • The song title comes from Fivio Foreign and Sosa Geek's verses where they talk about the depraved activities they get up to. They spit rhymes about drugs, weapons, breaking the law and becoming demons at night.
  • Drake raps his rhymes in an English accent. He previously adopted a UK drill-inspired flow on the freestyles "Behind Barz" and "War."
  • The menacing beat is courtesy of London drill producer JB Made It.
