Background

The song samples the keyboards from Raphael Saadiq's 1995 song "Ask of You", which was said to give it an "old-school R&B feel".^[1]

Critical reception

Writing for Billboard, Heran Mamo called the track "a stalled apology and a plea to simmer things down verbally while heating things up physically".^[1] Emily Zemler of Rolling Stone described the song as "slick" and "sultry".^[2] Alexis Reese of Vibe wrote that "Jeremih takes over the chorus and bridge, melodically singing sweet nothings about tragedy, reconciling and being 'on chill'" and felt that "Wale successfully amplifies his established R&B-rap vibes".^[3]

Commercial performance

On Chill peaked at number 22 on the US Billboard Hot 100, becoming his highest charting single since "Bad" in 2013 and second highest of his career.^[4] On September 22, 2020, the single was certified double platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for combined sales and streaming equivalent units of over two million units in the United States.^[5]
