Background and composition
"GFY" was written and produced by Blackbear, Andrew Goldstein, Travis Barker, and Omer Fedi with additional writing from Machine Gun Kelly himself and Sean Foreman. The song sees the two singers recount a toxic relationship. Blackbear further described the background of working with Machine Gun Kelly in Apple Music's description of In Loving Memory:[3]
[MGK] actually wrote his verse, and I was like, "I want the rapping Machine Gun Kelly. I want you to freaking give me the Eminem diss." He went in the studio and recorded it, and he sent it back. Then we rewrote it, and we recorded it again, and it was perfect. Every time I send him a verse, he makes me rewrite mine too. We’re always challenging each other.
