Ayra Starr's debut album in 2021, '19 & Dangerous', received a four-star review from NME's Sophie Williams upon its release. Williams commented: 'There's a real allure to Starr's world of magic, determination, and confidence, which she explores and inhabits as '19 & Dangerous' progresses. The surging and euphoric 'Fashion Killa' showcases it best, with lyrics that channel the energy of a big night out over a joyous, strobe-lit beat. The track exemplifies how the strength of Starr's self-belief is the album's true quality: balancing a sensitive kind of pop with proud, flawless bravado.'"
