    Instead of another f---ing relationship ballad, this song could've been about his place in the rap game, the criticisms he faces, how important he is regardless of the post hiatus criticisms and his legacy. Get rid of Pinks verses, keep her Need Me hook, add 3 verses from Em about how vital he is to hip hop, a Business "Can't leave rap alone the game needs me" sample, and boom there you have it a classic. Instead we got a pink throwaway smh

    I’m assuming, that the only reason the song made the album is because he was on her album.

    Maybe it was a clause in a contract when they collabed or maybe it was just out of respect.

    Either way, it should’ve been a rapper feature.

    I love the hook but I hate how much it feels like a Pink song featuring Em. He couldve done alot more

    Gtfo, song could’ve been kept out of the album and would’ve made the same album somewhat decent.

    Ron Burgundy Still a Grade-A prick.

    I actually think t would have fit better if the theme was the fans “need him”. And he talked to his fan base.

    Pink should have been relegated to bridge/chorus. Otherwise I do think it had great potential.
