Background
Tyler, the Creator first teased the song on June 22, 2021, when he posted the music video, which omitted YoungBoy's verse. Tyler, the Creator said one of his favorite moments on the album is when YoungBoy says "think so" on the song. Following the song's release, Tyler, the Creator, while at a pop-up concert, called YoungBoy a "sweetheart" and said they hung out a number of times. "WusYaName" was produced solely by Tyler, the Creator.
Composition
Regarded as a departure from Tyler, the Creator's previous musical style, it contains G-funk synths and a "distinct throwback" sound, courtesy of the sampled track, "Back Seat (Wit No Sheets)" (1994) by R&B group H-Town, paired with a New Jack Swing-styled R&B. Ryan Rosenberger of Elevator Mag said the song "carries the same soulful, cinematic vibes as Igor did, with its lush, intricate vocal arrangements and hardknocking boombap drums".
