This song infuses traditional Neo-Soul elements with Hip-Hop. It's a soulful experience as it uses traditional gospel elements with traditional rap drums and characteristics. Immaculate production meets a soft poetic delivery and it's absolute magic. Noname references P Diddy's dance move, the Diddy Bop. The dance originated from the 90s and brings back feelings of nostalgia for Noname as she remembers her childhood and growing up in Chicago. She speaks about her mistakes and her happiest times in her childhood. Pop cultures references aloft as she speaks on her struggles.

About The Curator - Dithekgo Mogadime
A Hip-Hop purist at heart. Currently pursuing a law degree. I love anything related to music (specifically – R&B, jazz & hip-hop), sports (specifically – football, rugby, basketball & golf) and fashion.
I find most enjoyment in laying back, listening to music and interacting with my friends. If not socializing, I’m bound to be shouting at my TV – trying to tell Eden Hazard to shoot as he flicks the ball unnecessary. Sometimes I spend hours glued at my screen, watching Netflix in bed.
I’m a kind, cool and collected persona. I tend to live life without limits, finding enjoyment in every action and keep smiling through it all. I would sacrifice anything to keep my loved ones happy. I’m supportive and I’m happiest when everybody around me is smiling and shinning.
