Composition and lyrics[edit]
Noah Yoo of Pitchfork described the production of '12.38' as a 'sensual, minimalistic bounce.'[3] The song interpolates André 3000's song 'Vibrate'.[3] In the song, a girl feeds Gambino psilocybin, who is unfamiliar with the drug.[10] Sexual tension builds up as Gambino's girlfriend keeps texting him, causing his phone to vibrate.[10] Gambino uses humorous lines such as 'Why your cat looking at me sideways?' in place of a hook and chorus.[3] Gambino's verse continues as a beat-by-beat breakdown of the psilocybin use, until he wakes up alone.[11] Gambino name-checks multiple female artists, including Toni Braxton, SZA, and Chaka Khan.[3] 21 Savage raps about police harassment; he was previously detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in February 2019.[4] 21 Savage also raps about Popeyes' chicken and cartoon character Popeye's spinach.[12] By the end, the song 'devolves into spirals of vocal echoes' as a result of the psilocybin trip kicking in.[3]
Critical reception[edit]
Kitty Empire of The Guardian called the song excellent and described it as having 'the feel of narrative fiction'.[10] Empire stated that the song 'could be an episode of Atlanta,' an American comedy-drama television series created by Gambino.[10] Rowan5215 of Sputnikmusic called the song hilarious and wrote that 'Gambino [weaponizes] his full range to spin some The Love Below-style seduction.'[11] Okla Jones of Consequence of Sound called the song witty and sonically-pleasing as Gambino 'taps into his prowess as both a writer and a comic.'[12] Jones wrote that 21 Savage's verse had Southern charm and was must-needed.[12] Noah Yoo of Pitchfork praised 21 Savage's 'particularly on point' guest appearance.[3] Yoo wrote that as the song ends in spiraling echoes, 'it's 21's lyrics you’re left thinking about.'[3]
