'' 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, which has a tempo of 139 BPM ( beats per minute ), heavily samples `` Changes '' by British dubstep DJ and record producer Mala. `` Look at Me '' features an extremely heavy and distorted bass, creating an aggressive feeling throughout the track. While some criticized the heavy distortion to be a case of bad mixing, Rojas, the producer, said the poor mixing and distortion on the track was intentional to differentiate the song from other popular hip hop songs at the time. 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 charting single. However, this is his longest - charting song, making it into the Billboard Year - End Hot 100 singles of 2017 at number 99. `` Look at Me '' was certified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America ( RIAA ) on August 14, 2017 with over one million sales. 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 Drake previously used the triplet flow on the song `` Digital Dash '', and even earlier than that by other rappers such as Ludacris. It sparked a viral surge in the song 's popularity, as well as Onfroy himself, while incarcerated at the time. The song was later released as `` KMT '' on Drake 's playlist More Life. The song received further controversy in September 2017 when the music video was released depicting a white child being hung on stage in addition to other various depictions of murder and death. Although heavily criticized by conservative news outlets, Onfroy clarified via Instagram that the video was meant to be taken seriously as a form of art, and that it was a form of shock value. Soon after, Onfroy claimed on an Instagram video that a member of the Ku Klux Klan had threatened him for the depictions in the song.
