Background

The song was produced by Leyva, Dez Wright, Taz Taylor, and Lil Yachty. In an interview with XXL, Dez Wright goes over the making of "BackOutsideBoyz".

Controversy

The song generated controversy due to Drake's lyrics about DRAM and Ice Spice, saying towards DRAM, referencing the "Cha-Cha" and “Hotline Bling” drama in 2015, and towards Ice Spice, referencing her Twitter post "At least ima 10". DRAM responded on Twitter, calling out Drake in a video, saying, "I pressed his ass! His fucking bodyguards, goddamn—I ain't gonna hold you, his bodyguards went to town on the kid. But his bodyguards did, not his bitch-ass! He ain't touch me, he's a bitch. You know that." Ice Spice followed up by saying nothing happened between her and Drake and that the line wasn't about her in an interview with Ebro in the Morning.

The song received generally positive reviews from music critics. In a review of Her Loss, Craig Jenkins of Vulture compliments the song by saying, "BackOutsideBoyz, a clinic in the album’s flaws", and describes Drake's flow as "powerful". John Svetz of Paste describes the song as being a "club banger".
