Background
On November 1, 2019, Lil Baby posted a preview of the single on the app Triller. The dance move he displayed during the clip was described as hitting "The Woah". The song marked his first release as a solo artist since "Back On".

Critical reception
Dewayne Gage of Rolling Stone explained that the song, as being "built on a bed of heavy hitting 808s and suspenseful piano", enables the rapper to perform "with a canvas to sing and stretch his vocals as he describes how far he's come since embarking on a full-time rap career only two years ago". Tom Breihan at Stereogum thought that the song is "a fairly standard Atlanta trap song". However, the rapper "has a way with a hook, and there's something hypnotic about the way he settles into that misspelled title word".

Commercial performance
Following its release, "Woah" reached number 1 on Apple Music within 24 hours. The song debuted at number 19 on the Billboard Hot 100. On the Rolling Stone Top 100 Songs chart, the song debuted at number one, making it the sixth song to do so, eleventh overall, and became Lil Baby's first number one song in the United States.

Music video
The song's official video was released on December 6, 2019. In it, Lil Baby is seen with "exotic cars drifting all around him". He performs a series of dances, including the song's namesake dance challenge, the Woah. The video features cameos from fellow rappers Lil Durk and Lil Marlo, as well as members of Lil Baby's family. Billboard 's Michael Saponara called the visuals "energetic".
