Songfacts®:

  • "Split" is a hard-hitting rage anthem that's a great example of Yeat's love for repetition. The song is essentially just two verses of him flexing about his money, his love of Bentley automobiles, and gold-digging women, with the same beat looping throughout. The Portland rapper copies and pastes the vocals from the first minute and 12 seconds of the song, and the beat loops throughout with no switch-ups.
  • ChaseTheMoney created the beat. The St. Louis producer's other credits include Ski Mask the Slump God's "Faucet Failure" and JID & J Cole's "Off Deez."
  • Yeat recorded "Split" for Afterlyfe. The album debuted and peaked at #4 on the Billboard 200, becoming Yeat's first Top 5 record on the chart.
