Composition and lyrics.
In the lyrics, Cardi B chronicles her rise to prominence, from working at a strip club in New York to her breakthrough in the music industry. For a "Vibe" editor, it takes influence from Meek Mill's "Dreams and Nightmares" in the "gradual lead in, slowly leading up to a sick bass drop and rapid fire flow about taking over the rap industry."
Critical reception.
Jem Aswad of "Variety" called the song an "empowering opening autobiographical testimonial," and noted it also made room for "clever, piercingly funny lyrics." Andreas Hale in "Billboard" said, "from the haunting piano opening to the aggressive manner that the song builds momentum, this is the way you welcome listeners to your world and show them that you mean business." Eleanor Halls of "GQ" considered it the best song on the album. For Kathy Iandoli of "XXL", in the "dynamic" intro "Cardi barks with ferocity [...] she leaves the listener with only the ability to focus on her music—gossip blog clickbait to the side."
Live performances.
Cardi B gave the first televised performance of the song at the 2018 BET Hip Hop Awards in a medley that also included "Backin' It Up", where she was joined by Pardison Fontaine.
