Cactus Jack Records' Chase B and Travis Scott first previewed the song on their podcast .WAV Radio in October 2020.[1] The song leaked in January 2021 on Spotify, but was soon removed from the platform.[2] On November 30, 2022, Metro Boomin revealed on Twitter that the song would be on his album Heroes & Villains,[3] which was then released a few days later.

Composition

The song features a trap beat[4] with a "chilling" piano loop.[5]

Robin Murray of Clash wrote, "'Niagara Falls (Foot Or 2)' is a real highlight – it's never less than entertaining."[6] Mosi Reeves commented on 21 Savage's line "Mike Vick, number 7, I'm a dog", calling it a "funny" reference to the Bad Newz Kennels dog fighting investigation.[7] Hamza Riaz regarded the song as one of the best tracks from Heroes & Villains.[8]
