Songfacts®:

  • Khaled opens his Suffering From Success album with a familiar voice as we hear President Barack Obama say: "Thank you everybody. How you like my new entrance music?" The audio clip was taken from the White House Correspondents' Dinner in April 2013. "I just wanted to start the album when Obama came out with 'All I Do Is Win' and saying that's his new theme song — I mean that's the biggest voice in America and he's saying a DJ Khaled record is his theme song," Khaled told MTV News. "I'm starting off the album like, 'Helloooo, have you got it yet?' I'm the best in the game."
