Songfacts®:

  • This song finds Big Sean spitting bravado rhymes accompanied by Chris Brown, who croons the hook and Ty Dolla $ign (Breezy's "Loyal" writer), who sings the bridge.
  • The beat was supplied by Key Wane and Jay John Henry, who have been making instrumentations for Sean since his early mixtape days. The beat incorporates a sample of new jack swing trio Guy's 1988 track "Piece of My Love."
  • The Mike Carson-directed video pays homage to the classic 1990s TV sitcom, Martin, opening credits and all. We see Big Sean, who portrays Martin, seducing his on-screen love interest. However, he keeps getting interrupted by friends, including Reginald Ballard and Thomas Mikal Ford from the series, Chris Brown who plays Cole and French Montana. At the end the star of the show, Martin Lawrence, kicks Sean out of the apartment.
