Two days before its release, the song was teased by Tyla Yaweh on Instagram.[2] It is an ode to his "lavish lifestyle" and is named afterMötley Crüe drummerTommy Lee, who also plays the drums on the song's rock remix, "accented by strings and choice chimes that serve as a base for emotive verses from Tyla and Post".[3] The two sing about living like rockstars without having to worry about anything, but also "touch on the tribulations of their position".[3]
The music video was released on June 12, 2020.[2] It shows Yaweh and Malone driving inATVs and limousines[4] in a pastoral setting.[3]
