Background
In an interview with Elle Korea, Bibi said that she named the song "Boss, you should gamble only for fun" to show that it does not promote gambling.[1]
Music and lyrics
Bibi describes the psychology of gamblers with lyrics such as "Dice and ice cube, it's too dangerous out here/ Home girls bitches shuffling cards/ Spin it spin it pussy, let them go/ Chips and chips and chips and bet yourself." She claims that gambling and life are "repetition of temptation and choice that we cannot resist even though we know their dangers", singing "Taste the muzzle of a gun/ Taste the taste of money". She dreams of escaping from games and choices, singing "Pick that card to save me".[2]
