In his 1990s-influenced song, Roddy Ricch — who has a pretty stunning net worth — raps over a sweet piano beat about his desires for love and life. The lyrics may seem surface level, with the rapper mentioning a variety of luxury brand names, including Versace and Gucci, but they all hint at something deeper — and they're all cleverly implemented with word play. What Ricch ultimately conveyed in "High Fashion" is the climb one takes in life — whether it's in their professional or personal life. He explained throughout the song that everything in his life had led to professional success, and he wanted to use the money and experience he gained from his career to make a woman happy.

As noted by NME's Kyann-Sian Williams, Mustard's contributions to the track created "tranquilizer-like piano chords" — coupled with Ricch's tuned vocals, "High Fashion" was an instant success. "When you hear his pitchy vocal say, 'If we hop in the benz, is that OK? / Is it OK that I call you my Prada baby?', you kinda have to say: 'Yes,'" Williams wrote. 

Because this song is about mobility in every regard, it's fitting that this song took its time riding the charts. It mimicked Ricch's own career, and it landed it at No. 1 on the Hot 100 some six months after debuting on the chart. This shows that if Ricch — or a song such as "High Fashion" — can have its own journey, time, and space, it can flourish.
