Music and lyrics
"Peggy" was written by Ceechynaa, and co-produced by Rupa Beats with Extendo Beats.[5] Raphael Helfand of The Fader described the song as a deviation from the UK drill beats of her previous singles for something "a bit more horrorcore, setting the stage for a brilliant, Memphis-themed hook."[6] He also praised her for "reversing the misogyny of Juicy J's 'Half on a Sack' bar", stating that Ceechynaa "spits directly in the face of rap fans who'd rather plug their ears than let a fem MC cook."[6] A music video was released on 9 December 2024.[3]
