Content

[edit]

In the song, Pluto's lyrics center on men and relationships,[1] with sexually explicit lyrics ("He want me bad, heard he a duck, can't get no coochie out the queen, put some Lulu on this butt").[1][2] On the chorus, she raps "We forever gettin' money, you forever gon' be mad"[1] and also references rapper BunnaB and her single "No Drought". The song is also titled after "Whim Wham" by rapper Mook B of D4L.[2]

Critical reception

[edit]

Vivian Medithi of The Fader commented "It might be too early to start pinning down a song of the summer but allow me to make a humble nomination. On 'Whim Whamiee,' Pluto and YK Niece take a typically sproingy Zaytoven instrumental for a totally jacked-up joyride. Consider it 'F.N.F.' for 2025". Medithi further wrote, "Still, things aren't quite all-gas-no-brakes for the Atlanta cosmetologist-turned-anthem writer. Her flow careens around the pocket on her bite-size verse before skidding to a stop on a dime in the middle of the chorus. Her verse traverses her vocal range, from pinched upper register to ellipsis-loaded midrange. She's not saying much, just the usual fly shit, but she's saying it perfectly. Point in case: the song's addictive adlibs, both the titular whim whammieeeee and the sponsorship-ready Lululemonnnnn, which seem liable to emanate from smartphones around America for at least the next three months."[2]

Remix

[edit]
