Composition
The song finds Kodak Black melodically rapping.[2][3] In the lyrics, he states that he should have been born on Halloween because of his evil deeds, reflects on his childhood and growing up with an absent father, and mentions his prolific streak in releasing albums.[3][4] Black references several Halloween elements, such as the Devil, demons, costumes (while referring to himself as a wolf in sheep's clothing) and trick or treating.[1][4] He later explains why he thinks his "cranium got a disease".[4]
Critical reception
Kevin Goddard of HotNewHipHop gave a favorable review, writing "Highlighted by its infectious production & catchy flow & delivery, 'Halloween' is another strong addition to Kodak's steady growing catalogue of hits."[3]
