Composition and lyrics [ edit ]
On the pop rap song, Malone sings about drinking while having late night parties and hurting the morning after.[3] [4] The song is centered around a two-chord progression and he expresses his desire to stay drunk and not want to become sober, while he also calls out fake friends who only want him for his money and expensive lifestyle.[5] Malone also feels that he does not know how to speak to anybody about what he is going through.[6]
