The song title is a play on Florida rapper Kodak Black's name; Cardi's flow on the track is based on his 2014 hit "No Flockin." Cardi B has form for interpolating another flow in her music. In 2016, she adopted Plies's "Ran Off on da Plug Twice" flow on her breakout hit "Foreva."
Cardi B explained the song title to MTV News: "I call it 'Bodak Yellow' because Bodak, my name start with a B and yellow because I'm a yellow bitch." The title never appears in the lyrics.

The rapper references her past as a stripper in this song and how she now makes the money move towards her. Look, I don't dance now I make money moves Say I don't gotta dance I make money move
