Background

[edit]

On September 18, 2025, Cardi B revealed the tracklist to her second studio album Am I the Drama?, including "ErrTime" as the sixteenth track.[1] Following the album's release on September 19, Latto posted an Instagram story with the words "Latto is the drama" on September 24, teasing a collaboration.[2] The duo previously worked together in 2023 on the song "Put It on da Floor Again", which reached number 13 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was certified platinum in the US.[3] On September 24, Cardi B released the "ErrTime Edition" of Am I the Drama?, including a remix of "ErrTime" with Latto as a bonus track.[4]

Music and lyrics

[edit]

In the song's opening verse, Cardi B calls out women who made moves on her husband Offset when they were together, rapping "If I take your nigga, I don’t wanna hear no cryin’ / Cause I ain’t say shit when hoes was out herе fuckin' mine."[5] She also references Latto in the original version with the line "Bad yellow bitch, look like Latto in this motherfucker."[6]

The remix keeps most of the original song but replaces Cardi B's second verse with Latto's.[6] Latto starts her verse with "Pop out, brand new body like I’m Carti in this motherfucker / Bitch, I’m giving belt out like karate in this motherfucker," referencing Playboi Carti's song "Pop Out" from his album Music (2025).[5] She goes on to reference her own nickname and the album itself in the lines "Big Mama, fuck the small talk, what's the word, Ski? / I must be the drama, way he drop 200 first beat."[6] Near the end of the verse, Latto describes her experiences at Fashion Week and how she must be "the drama" because a man cashed out on her after they spent a night together.[7]

Critical reception

[edit]

Billboard staff ranked "ErrTime" as the sixth-best track on the album, comparing it to GloRilla and Cardi B's song "Tomorrow 2" and saying that the "track would have gotten a huge boost from a GloRilla feature."[8] Writing for Vibe, Armon Sandler ranked "ErrTime" the sixth-best song on the album, calling it an "anthem in every way". He compared the song structure to those from the 2000s and praised Cardi B and her team for doing "their homework on the type of songs that have staying power."[9] He also praised Latto's feature on the remix, stating she "fit the record like a glove" and "seamlessly matched" Cardi B's energy.[7] Uproxx's Aaron Williams further praised her "knockout verse that elevates the club fight song to a new plateau of electrifying excitement."[10]
