"Pop Out" is a song by American rapper Lil Baby featuring fellow rapper Nardo Wick from the former's third studio album It's Only Me (2022). It was produced by Trademark, ShortyyK and Eza. The song is the second collaboration between the artists, after "Me or Sum".

Composition

The song finds Lil Baby boasting about his accomplishments as he addresses his rivals, and features a beat switch.

Critical reception

The song received generally positive reviews. AllMusic described it as "a song made more exciting by hooky Kanye-esque samples and the unexpected beat switch that introduces a solid feature from Nardo Wick." In a review of It's Only Me, Brandon Yu of Variety cited the song as an example of when Lil Baby "lets his flow loose", which he described as his "greatest strength", while also writing "the abrupt beat-switch to a menacing sound, both in production and in Nardo Wick's strong feature, injecting a sharp energy that's absent from most of the record." Niall Smith of NME considered the song as part of the "weighty momentum" of the album.

Music video

The official music video was released on November 23, 2022. It sees Lil Baby being chauffeured around in a Maybach, sitting with his two sons, "handling business" at a computer, and hanging with his crew of friends. He is later joined by Nardo Wick on the hood of an SUV.
