Background

The song was recorded at a hotel while Rod Wave was touring.[3] Comparing the song to another album track, "Ribbons In the Sky", Micah Peters of The Ringer said "Rags2Riches" is "inspiring without being so melodramatic".[4] HotNewHipHop's Alexander Cole called Lil Baby's feature on "Rags2Riches 2" a standout and said the song "comes across like a ballad of sorts, as both artists go in-depth on their success and how they grew up with nothing".[5]
