On December 23, 2020, in an interview with Complex, Wheezy explained how the songs that he produced from the album came about: Sawyer, Jonathan (May 14, 2020). "Everything We Know About Gunna's New Album WUNNA". Highsnobiety . Retrieved May 20, 2020. Williams, Aaron (January 10, 2022). "Gunna Recounts A Harrowing Trip to the ICU In His 'Livin Wild' Video". Uproxx . Retrieved January 11, 2022.

If this was meant to be Gunna’s serious record, it fails in that respect. “Idk nomore” is a Michael Jordan shoulder shrug from someone playing like Josh Hart. It all feels underwhelming; it’s not enough, a 40-degree day. To see your world under surveillance from people sworn to send you to jail is heartbreaking. And to be the one man who has been released from that state surveillance can be relieving and quite confusing. Why isn’t there more of that on the record? I am not suggesting that he should have done his version of “The Bigger Picture,” a self-important song that will be a weird footnote in Lil Baby’s career, but Gunna seems remarkably subdued here for a dude that has been through hell.a b c "Gunna Chart History: Hot 100".
