This song features Phresher on the hook and post chorus. The Brooklyn rapper is the sole rap feature on Revival. Eminem first discovered the spitter thanks to his pal Royce da 5'9"'s remix of Phresher's 2016 single "Wait a Minute."
The song title refers to the oral analgesic brand Chloraseptic, which is used for soothing throat and mouth pain. The track itself is a dig at the contemporary generation of rappers who mumble whilst spitting or singing. Phresher emphasizes his point by referencing strep throat, a bacterial infection that causes pain in the throat. He warns the mumbling spitters that they will feel like they've got strep after he's finished with them. I'm at your throat like chloraseptic, 'septic And you got strep, I'm too complex with, 'plex with This s--t I wrote is on some next s--t, next s--t I'm at your throat, I'm feelin' reckless, reckless, yeah Phresher explained to Complex: "The record is about just spitting, man. Just going off, you get what I'm saying? Just cutthroat, at your throat music. Like, I'm on you, you know what I'm saying? Real right-at-you music. It's just awesome, man. Eminem went crazy on it."
It seems that 2 Chainz also recorded some rhymes for Revival, but they were omitted from the final release. Speaking with This is 50, Phresher explained how he was inspired to step up his game after hearing what 2 Chainz had recorded. "So I did the verse, and Em is like, 'You know 2 Chainz is on the record too, listen to his verse.' I lost my mind," the Brooklyn rapper recalled.
