"Watch" is a song by American rapperTravis Scott featuring fellow American rappersLil Uzi Vert andKanye West. Written alongside producerPi'erre Bourne, it was released byCactus Jack,Grand Hustle, andEpic Records on May 4, 2018. It was expected to be the second single from Scott's third studio albumAstroworld, before being excluded when the album was released on August 3, 2018.^[1]^[2]

Release

[edit]

American supermodel and reality star and Travis Scott's girlfriend at the time,Kylie Jenner, first teased the track via her Snapchat story on April 24, 2018,^[3] West also teased it on Twitter the following day.^[4]^[5]^[6] A day before the song's release, Scott revealed its release date and cover art,^[7]^[8]^[9] the latter of which includes a roller coaster, a skull with fire in its eye sockets, flowers and a gem-encrusted gold watch.^[10] On May 11, Scott premiered a vertical video for the song exclusively on Spotify, in which Uzi and West were absent. It was shot atSix Flags Magic Mountain.^[11]

Composition

[edit]

"Watch" is atrap song which samplesRonald Jenkees' 2012 song "Early Morning May" and KSupreme's unreleased song "Expensive Shit".^[12]^[13]^[3] According toRolling Stone's Althea Legaspi, "the track opens with an amusement park clip of a child at AstroWorld, and a whimsical, woozy musical vibe follows that befits that theme".^[10] Lyrically, Uzi raps about their cash flow,^[14] while West raps aboutopioid addiction and addresses his controversial social position.^[15]^[16]^[17] The outro was spoken by Scott's then-girlfriendKylie Jenner.^[18]^[19]

Critical reception

[edit]

Sheldon Pearce ofPitchfork regarded the song as "an enjoyable ego trip full of empty-calorie raps, reliant entirely on the premise that you are as enthralled by these three artists as they are with themselves". He noted "Pi'erre's superb ear-bending production" as "the song's best feature", writing that "Scott is largely forgettable" due to his "toneless, flat, and unchanging" hums.^[20]

Live performances

[edit]

On May 6, 2018, Scott made a live performance debut of the song during an appearance at Avenue nightclub in Los Angeles.^[21]
