Melanie Bertoldi of Billboard said the track seeks to pick up where "You're a Jerk" and "Crank That" left off, and commented while the dance might leave something to be desired, that the track's "catchy, refreshingly simple hook makes it a no-brainer for repeat play." Jon Caramanica of The New York Times praised the song, especially JayAre's verse, calling him "kinetic", and said he flows "hard on all angles." {{cite news == Music video ==

The music video was directed by Yolande Geralds, and was filmed in the group's hometown of Inglewood, California. Aside from showcasing Inglewood's diversity, video features cameos from B-Hamp, New Boyz, and Teyana Taylor, and the late Simone Battle former member of girl group GRL and one time X-Factor Contestant, as well as the members of Cali Swag District dancing, partying and skateboarding in the town. It also includes dancing shots of "bubba", a person referenced in the song because of his ability to do the Dougie. == In popular culture ==

In September 2024, Saturday Night Live made a comedy sketch featuring the candidates of the 2024 United States presidential election. One of the characters also present, the Second Gentleman of the United States Doug Emhoff, played by Andy Samberg, entered the stage with the song playing. The song was chosen because of Emhoff's name of endearment given to him by his spouse and the Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris being "Dougie". == Live performances ==
