It was sent to U.S. rhythmic contemporary radio on September 25, 2018 as the lead single from his third mixtape ''OnePointFive'' (2018).<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.allaccess.com/top40-rhythmic/future-releases|title=Top 40 Rhythmic Future Releases|publisher=All Access Music Group|date=September 20, 2018|accessdate=January 30, 2024|url-status=live|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20180920125915/https://www.allaccess.com/top40-rhythmic/future-releases|archivedate=September 20, 2018}}</ref> The song was produced by Tee-Watt and LDG Beats.
==Composition== The song contains a guitar loop and flute.<ref name="HS">{{cite web |last1=Indiana |first1=Jake |title=Aminé's Trunk-Rattling 'OnePointFive' Turns Rough Cuts Into Gems |url=https://www.highsnobiety.com/p/amine-onepointfive-review/ |website=Highsnobiety |access-date=30 January 2024 |date=August 16, 2018}}</ref>
==Critical reception== Jake Indiana of ''Highsnobiety'' gave a negative review of the song, writing that the production has "elements that are good in theory but make for a product that is much less than the sum of its parts. That Aminé, one of the most offbeat lyricists in the business, would drop the downright reductive couplet 'She Björk cute, so she really fine, just sorta weird,' isn't doing this cut any favors."<ref name="HS" />
==Music video== An official music video was released on September 5, 2018. Directed by Jack Begert and Sam Canter, it sees Aminé running a car wash on a sunny day. The video opens with the manager, Ricky, telling a customer he will leave briefly to attend to some self-care needs. After that, Aminé begins partying at the car wash with a group of women in bikinis,<ref name="BB">{{cite magazine |last1=Saponara |first1=Michael |title=Amine Runs a Sexy Car Wash in New 'Reel It In' Video: Watch |url=https://www.billboard.com/music/rb-hip-hop/amine-reel-it-in-video-8473726/ |magazine=Billboard |access-date=30 January 2024 |date=September 5, 2018}}</ref><ref name="Fader">{{cite web |last1=Hussein |first1=Wandera |title=Aminé drops "Reel It In" music video |url=https://www.thefader.com/2018/09/05/amine-reel-it-in-music-video |website=The Fader |access-date=30 January 2024 |date=September 5, 2018}}</ref><ref name="HB">{{cite web |last1=Maduakolam |first1=Emmanuel |title=Aminé Drops "Reel It In" Video |url=https://hypebeast.com/2018/9/amine-reel-it-in-video |website=Hypebeast |access-date=30 January 2024 |date=September 5, 2018}}</ref> who wash some candy-painted old school cars<ref name="Fader" /><ref name="HB" /> and shake their buttocks.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Findlay |first1=Mitch |title=Aminé Plays In The Suds With Buxom Buds In "Reel It In" |url=https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/115704-amin-plays-in-the-suds-with-buxom-buds-in-reel-it-in-new-video |website=HotNewHipHop |access-date=30 January 2024 |date=September 5, 2018}}</ref> When Ricky returns, he berates the women, but after Aminé explains he is shooting a music video his attitude changes and he joins Aminé, his friends and the women in dancing.<ref name="BB" />
