'' In 15 minutes, it was done. X already knew the whole song in his head before he made it. He 's creative as fuck. X decided to distort the whole track in one. Rojas also spoke about the origin of the beat : We made it at Jimmy Duval 's Studio. The beat was actually made for Retch, when he came down to Miami after he had a show in Tampa. He was staying at Jimmy 's crib after I introduced them, when me and Jimmy decided to work on some stuff for Retch. That 's when we made the `` Look At Me ! '' beat. We never got to send it to Retch because he went to jail and I lost contact with him and his management. Rojas lastly talked about how they ( Jimmy Duval ) found the sample : A couple months before I sampled it, I was listening to a song by Young Roddy called `` Water '' and I was fucking with him heavy. I thought the sample was really hard and I wanted to use it but i failed with it so many times before I got it right. Composition The track heavily samples `` Changes '' by British dubstep DJ and record producer Mala. The track has a tempo of 140 bpm. ( Beats per minute ) Look at Me has a distorted bass that has been extremely boosted to offer a lo - fi aesthetic. Rojas, the producer, intentionally mixed the song badly to create an energy that makes the song unique to anything else within mainstream hip - hop. Chart performance `` Look at Me '' debuted at number 94 on US Billboard Hot 100 for the chart dated February 25, 2017, and has so far peaked at number 34. It is XXXTentacion 's first and highest - charting single. During August 2017, the song was certified Platinum. Controversy The song first received notable attention and controversy in early 2017 when Canadian rapper Drake used a similar rap flow from `` Look at Me '' in an unreleased song that Drake previewed at a concert in Brussels featuring British rapper Giggs, although the triplet flow has been used by Drake previously on the song `` Digital Dash '' and even early by that from other rappers such as Ludacris. It sparked a viral surge in the song 's popularity, as well as XXXTentacion himself, while incarcerated at the time. The song was later released as `` KMT '' on Drake 's playlist More Life.
