Lyrics and style
The song contains a "smooth, snappy, contagious backdrop". Lyrically, Lecrae speaks about "the ways of the club, staying true to himself while having some fun."
Reception
Jake Rohn from BET wrote: "Lecrae nods again to Lamar (and the shifting consciousness of the mainstream) on the K.E. on the Track-produced, 'I'm Turnt,' satirically flipping a club-friendly sound to create an anti-Molly anthem." In its review of the whole mixtape, HipHopDX wrote: "At worst, songs like 'I’m Turnt' come off just as stylistically unimaginative as anything on the radio or BET. But they’ll earn points for offering substance—even if it occasionally appears in the form of clichés, such as talk of 'being high on the spirit, bro.' " In October 2013, Lecrae performed the song BET's 106 & Park.
Music video
Filming of the music video took place in November 2013 in Atlanta, Georgia. The video, directed by Steven C Pitts and edited by Kyle Dettman, was released on December 17, 2013. It depicts Lecrae "attending a house party, only it’s turnt up by his faith in the Lord." Jesse James of StupidDope described the video as "a fitting set of visuals".
