Background
[edit]The title refers to a supposed marriage between Jake Paul and Erika Costell. However, Paul told The New York Times that the relationship was not real, saying "We're not even actually dating. It's like the WWE. People know that's fake, and it's one of the biggest things of entertainment."[3]
Critical reception
[edit]Chris DeVille of Stereogum described the song as "a romantic hip-hop/R&B duet between Paul and Costell slathered in so much Auto-Tune that it has to be a joke."[4]
