The song received generally positive response from critics, who agreed it was a fun, refreshing track, while noting it resembles the work of other artists produced by Diplo, such as M. I.

Woke up this morning feeling that you were gone
I thought awhile, but I'm finally moving on
Said it, did it, hit it, quit it
Then you let it go
See you tryin' to call me, but I blocked you on the phone
It took a minute, but now I'm feeling strong
It almost killed me, but I'm better off alone
Now you sayin' that you're sorry, I don't wanna know
Better face the fact you had to go

It might sound like I'm an unapologetic bitch
But sometimes you know I gotta call it like it is
It might sound like I'm an unapologetic bitch
But sometimes you know I gotta call it like it is
You know you never really knew how much you loved me 'til you lost me
Did you?
You know you never really knew how much your selfish bullshit cost me
Well, f*ck you
It might sound like I'm an
It might sound like I'm an

I know you'd like it if I stayed home and cried
But that ain't gonna happen, here's the reason why
When we did it, I'll admit it, wasn't satisfied
When the gun was loaded you were never on my side
I'm popping bottles that you can't even afford
I'm throwing parties and you won't get in the door
Said it, did it, loved it, hated it
I don't care no more
Tell me how it feels to be ignored

It might sound like I'm an unapologetic bitch
But sometimes you know I gotta call it like it is
It might sound like I'm an unapologetic bitch
But sometimes you know I gotta call it like it is
You know you never really knew how much you loved me 'til you lost me
Did you?
You know you never really knew how much your selfish bullshit cost me
Well, f*ck you
It might sound like I'm an
It might sound like I'm an

Yeah yeah yeah woah
Yeah yeah yeah woah
Yeah yeah yeah woah
Yeah yeah yeah woah

It might sound like I'm an
It might sound like I'm an

It might sound like I'm an unapologetic bitch
But sometimes you know I gotta call it like it is
It might sound like I'm an unapologetic bitch
But sometimes you know I gotta call it like it is

You know you never really knew how much you loved me, till you lost me?
Did you?
You know you never knew how much your selfish bullshit cost me?
Well, f*ck you

It might sound like I'm an unapologetic bitch
But sometimes you know I gotta call it like it is
It might sound like I'm an unapologetic bitch
But sometimes you know I gotta call it like it is

It might sound like I'm an
It might sound like I'm an
