Composition and lyrics

[edit]

In a ranking of all songs from the album, Billboard's Michael Saponara saw "Where Was You" as the best song, describing that "Carti kicks off flexing his private jet trips to Mexico and lacing his girl with icy chains" and "Scott seemingly takes a page out of Future's "Where Ya At" flow while giving a rare look into personal life and surroundings while climbing the rap food chain".[1] The production of the song was also complimented, in which its instrumental "floats with an odd, harpsichord-like melody".[2] Carti has an "obligatory weave over an unmemorable F1LTHY beat" on the song, "which seems counterintuitive at its core".[3]
