"**Reel It In**" (stylized in [all caps](/source/All_caps)) is a song by American rapper [Aminé](/source/Amin%C3%A9). It was sent to U.S. [rhythmic contemporary](/source/Rhythmic_contemporary) radio on September 25, 2018 as the lead single from his third mixtape *[OnePointFive](/source/OnePointFive)* (2018).[1] The song was produced by Tee-Watt and LDG Beats.

## Composition

The song contains a guitar loop and flute.[2]

## Critical reception

Jake Indiana of *[Highsnobiety](/source/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](/source/Bj%C3%B6rk) cute, so she really fine, just sorta weird,' isn't doing this cut any favors."[2]

## 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,[3][4][5] who wash some candy-painted old school cars[4][5] and shake their buttocks.[6] 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.[3]

## Remix

An official remix of the song featuring American rapper [Gucci Mane](/source/Gucci_Mane) was released on November 20, 2018.[7]
