On stage, he delivered a verse about a love interest while shirtless and displaying his tattoos. He was then shown smoking a cigarette while rapping with CheckTheStar; the song is titled "Lately (ft Aaron Carter)."

"This classic song was inspired by toxic relationships," the video's description reads.
