Songfacts®:

  • EDM DJ/producer Skrillex supplied the beat for this darkly bubbling cut. The pair were friends way before they laid down this track. "I used to hang out with him and go to downtown raves and stuff like that," Rocky told MTV's RapFix Live. "He's a cool cat, and for him to be so successful, he doesn't act like it, and I like that."
  • This song arose from an impromptu studio session one night when the pair was hanging out together. "With me and Skrillex, we was just chillin and we were like 'Yo, let's go to the studio,'" Rocky recalled to MTV News. "He had a show and we were in there raving and acting crazy - I love to find any excuse to act ratchet, any reason and I'm gonna be wylin' - so we went to the studio and it was just organic, we was just chilling."
    "Everybody was in the studio getting it right, we had friends over and females getting drunk," he continued. "I had fun that night, had fun making the record and I think everybody else gonna have fun listening to it."
