Composition

edit

"Pop Dat Thang" is a fast-paced song that is described as "club-ready", high-energy and suitable for strip clubs.[1][2] It features an uptempo beat, "heavy bounce",[2] and sampled vocals.[3] DaBaby raps about a woman who attracts him through her dancing style.[2] He uses sexually explicit language to convey a sense of dominance.[1]

Critical reception

edit

Alexander Cole of HotNewHipHop considered the song a great example of DaBaby switching his sound, writing "we get a more toned-down DaBaby, although it just works. From the sampled vocals in the production to DaBaby's subdued flow, it is clear that he is trying something new. In our estimation, this is working quite beautifully."[3]
