The opening track of Em’s eleventh studio album starts off by commenting on the reception of his previous albums. Revival, released In 2017, was widely considered as a weak album, with too many pop-features and weak lyrics. In his 2018 album Kamikaze, Em responded to the criticism he received, and started a fiery attack at the mumble rap scene that he continues on this track, setting the precedent for Music to Be Murdered By.

Furthermore, Em uses this track to comment on his career in its entirety, from his years of being undisputed and universally loved, until receiving more criticism for his later projects, a topic that he now has returned to on several albums.
