On “RIP Luv,” Savage gives a heartfelt performance about his disillusion with romantic love. However, it also deals with the pain in his heart from the friends and fellow gang members that he has lost. He raps about how he has to puts on a show when he is in public despite being miserable mentally.

The song’s somber production and introspective lyrics are reminiscent of Savage’s December 2018 standout track, “ball w/o you.”

Also, 21 Savage and Metro Boomin notably reunite with Zaytoven, whom they have both worked with regularly throughout their respective careers.
