Composition[edit]
"Buss It" is a dirty rap[1] song, which begins with a sample from American rapper Nelly's 2002 song "Hot in Herre" in which Nelly sings, "Checkin' your reflection and tellin' your best friend/Like, 'Girl, I think my butt gettin' big'",[2] which then transitions into the song's "trap-heavy" chorus over a repetition of the sample.[3] The Dallas Observer's Alex Gonzalez described the song as "an ass-shaking strip club anthem".[1]

"Buss It" debuted on the R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay chart in August 2020 at number 38, peaking at number 36.[3] The song debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 at number 100 five months later in January 2021 as a result of its viral popularity.[10] The song also topped both the Billboard Top Triller U.S. and Top Triller Global charts.[11] The song was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) in 2021.[12]
