The song also features a guest appearance from rapper Problem.

Music Video[]
The music video follows Gambino walking into a diner, he proceeds to sit a table with a few friends, goes over to a jukebox and puts a coin inside of it, leaves the diner on the right exit door as a man can be seen kneeling over a plant on the right of him and a couple can be seen getting intimate on the left of him while Gambino is on his cell phone. He walks back into the diner to find himself to the next moment when he first walked into the diner, he goes to sit down and finds the person he is sitting next to has the same exact face as him. He then repeats the same things he did the first time but when he goes outside the man with the plant has his face and the woman on his left does also. He walks back into the diner to again find himself in the same place again where he walked into the diner for the first time and that every customer, his friends at the table, and even the waitress has his face.
