"Flex" is a song by American rapper Polo G featuring fellow American rapper Juice WRLD from the former's second studio album The Goat (2020). The track was written by the artists alongside Chris Madine, producer Hit-Boy, and co-producer Dustin Corbett.
In an interview with HotNewHipHop shortly before the release of The Goat, Polo G stated that he and Juice Wrld used to "link up" together when they were in California. He added that when he recorded the song with Hit-Boy, he left an open verse and Hit-Boy brought Juice Wrld to record a verse. [1] In another interview with Complex, he said that the song had the feature he was most excited for on the album. [2]
The song contains melodic production in the form of an "emotive" pop beat, [3] [4] and boastful lyrics from the rappers regarding their lifestyles. [4]
The song received generally positive reviews, with particular praise on Juice Wrld's feature. [4] Fred Thomas of AllMusic wrote that he adds "even more gravity" to the song's beat. [3] Writing for HipHopDX, Eric Diep regarded Juice Wrld's verse as one of his best. [5]
