“Sky” is an ode to getting high and what life feels like under the influence of weed, lean, and other drugs. The chorus suggests Carti indulges in various substances to reach a state of numbness. He also addresses his feelings towards his girl, and how he has fallen out of love for her over time.
The instrumental features video game-esque synths, booming 808s, and is done by Art Dealer who he previously collaborated with on “Long Time (Intro)” on Die Lit.
