This is one of Lil Xan’s most popular songs, and it focuses on his struggle with the use of Xanax. On the track, Xan talks about the girls that he’s with, the drugs that he does, and the bad side effects of taking Xanax.
This song started blowing up after popular Rap music video director Cole Bennett made a music video for the song.
“I was with my homie Steven and. We record out of a really ghetto garage. “Slingshot”, “Betrayed,“ all those songs were recorded in a ghetto, bougie garage. It’s just a vibe, you know? The writing is easy there. It just comes naturally. In bigger studios, I can’t really catch a vibe like that. I’m not gonna lie, I probably wrote that song in 20 minutes, but I knew when I wrote it this was something different that people haven’t heard from me yet. I went in, laid it down and everybody was fucking with it heavy, so it was insane.
It was probably one of the last days I did Xans. The song is an anti-Xanax song. You can’t deny that. The song is about not taking drugs. I was off a Xanax that day when I made that song and I feel like it helped inspire it, but I realized that it’s bad. I’m off that shit completely, now. But I definitely think it helped the creativity for the song.“
“People call me a poser all the time. They’re like, “You don’t do Xans. You’re Lil Xan and you don’t do Xans?” I was painfully addicted to Xanax for like two years of my life, so anybody trying to tell me I’m a poser, can shut the fuck up. Because I know what it’s like to be addicted to that. And I was lucky enough to get off of that shit.
A lot of rappers don’t really be talking about not doing drugs. The opposite way. It’s refreshing.“
