  • This DJ Clue-produced track finds Future detailing his rise to fame, whilst Nicki Minaj jumps in to spit some swaggering bars about her skills and success.
  • The song didn't make Future's Honest album due to clearance issues over its interpolation of the classic melody from George Michael's 1984 hit "Careless Whisper," but later made its way onto the internet.
