Odetari – "GMFU"

"GMFU" (an acronym for "Got Me Fucked Up") is a song by American singers, Odetari and 6arelyhuman, from the former's extended play (EP) XIII Sorrows and the latter's EP Myspace Addiction (2023). Written by both performers, it was described by critical commentary as a "dark" and "eccentric" anthem. It was released as the second single promoting the aforementioned projects of both performers on July 26, 2023, through Artist Partner Group. "GMFU" peaked at number five on the US Billboard Dance/Electronic Songs chart, becoming Odetari's fourth and 6arleyhuman's first top-ten entry on the survey. It received a gold certification from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).

Composition and reception

[edit]

"GMFU" was written by Odetari and 6arleyhuman, with the former handling the production.[1] Billboard's Katie Bain proclaimed it as a "dark, thumping anthem about 'going dumb' from partying".[2] Jacob Saltzberg from Earmilk said that "GMFU" examplifise XIII Sorrows' "raw" and "hyperactive" synth layers "with the eccentric bounce".[3] Craig Lindsey from Chron noted that the track is "much beloved [by] children" and follows the trope of Odetari's "vulgar [and] eye-chatching" song titles.[4]
