  • The hook interpolates lyrics from Oran "Juice" Jones' 1986 hit "The Rain."
  • The song was produced by Mark Ronson. It is the third collaboration involving Bronson and Ronson, following the Mr. Wonderful tracks "Baby Blue" and "Brand New Car."
  • Speaking about the track, Ronson explained to Beats 1's Zane Lowe, "It never had a home.

They dug it and they put it in this great scene with Will Smith and his character."
