Songfacts®:

  • Future fills this chilled-out melodic rap track with his typically depraved bars. As well as puffing on zooties (a kind of marijuana cigarette), he's popping the Es and engaging in sexual shenanigans with a long-haired girl.

    There's also boasts:

    Count up some millions then take some more drugs

    And gripes about those who refuse to give him credit for his stylistic influence:

    Lot of these ni--as, they lookin' the same
    They copy my lingo, they bitin' my chain
  • The shuffling, contemplative beat is courtesy of:

    German producer Nils (Machine Gun Kelly's "Rap Devil," Juice WRLD's "Conversations").

    Atlanta producer TM88. A member of the record production and songwriting team 808 Mafia, he created the original beat for Future's collaboration with Drake, "Way 2 Sexy."

    Chicago producer Too Dope. He also worked on "Way 2 Sexy."
  • Future recorded "Puffin On Zootiez" for his I Never Liked You album. To help promote the record, Future sold Zootiez branded sweatshirts, sweatpants, jackets and shorts.
  • In the week after its release, all 16 tracks from the standard edition of I Never Liked You landed on the Hot 100. "Puffin On Zootiez" debuted on the chart at #4, the second highest placing after the #1 hit "Wait For U."
