As HipHopNMore notes, the title of the song is inspired by heavy metal band Mötley Crüe, whose member Tommy Lee later revealed on his Instagram stories that he took part in the music video.
Post Malone released his latest album, ‘Hollywood’s Bleeding’, back in 2019. NME gave the record four stars upon its release, writing that the “accomplished and eclectic record could only come from Post Malone”.
Posty is set to perform at a range of festivals this year including Lollapalooza Chicago, Rolling Loud Miami, and Governors Ball as well as Rock in Rio Lisboa in 2022.
Last month, the musician became the latest star to get a new jewel-encrusted look, after reportedly spending more than £1million on two diamond fangs.
