Remix
The remix with ASAP Rocky and Young Thug was released on August 1, 2017, five days after the Weeknd posted two Instagram videos previewing their verses. Ryan Reed of Rolling Stone described ASAP Rocky's verse as touching on marijuana and Jaden Smith, and noted a reference to the Weeknd's haircut at the 2017 Met Gala. Young Thug's Auto-Tuned verse moves from recalling his early hopes of radio play to financial and sexual boasts. The remix was included on the deluxe version of Starboy released on March 14, 2023.
