"XIII SORROWS" was produced by Odetari, 6arelyhuman and Giomadx, while also being single handedly written by Odetari.[7]

Jacob Saltzberg from Earmilk had said 'XIII Sorrows' was a "thrilling, captivating project" that is perfect for pushing the boundaries in the weight room, racing around a track, or battling demons.[23] Liliana Parsons suggested that "many people criticize it because of its popularity on TikTok" suggesting animosity toward TikTok due to its content, etc.[24]
