Songfacts®:

• Ice Spice teams up with London rapper Central Cee for "Did It First," a scorching dose of cheating drama recorded for her Y2K album.
• Ice Spice takes no prisoners. In the opening verse, she throws shade at her cheating boyfriend with icy confidence. She compares her strategy to a game of UNO, flipping the script with a "reverse card" – she's ready to get even with him by cheating back.
• Central Cee steps in for the second verse, desperately trying to cover his tracks. His paranoia is palpable as he describes his "investigating, detective" partner. This dude's always in some drama, addicted to the thrill of almost getting caught ("I keep comin' with stupid excuses").
• Ice Spice's regular producer RiotUSA joins forces with songwriter-producer Lily Kaplan and Nico Baran to create a blend of modern hip-hop and drill beats.
  
  Nico Baran is best known for being one of Internet Money's go-to samplemakers and has also worked with the likes of Bad Bunny ("Fina"), The Kid LAROI ("Tragic"), and Lil Tecca ("Repeat It").
  
  In 2023, Kaplan shared a Dropbox link with Baran, asking him to experiment with her vocal tracks. Baran took a snippet from the line "Baby, do you understand?" and crafted a loop around it, layering in synths for added texture. He then passed his creation along to RiotUSA, who transformed it into the backbone for "Did It First."
• Ice Spice co-directed the music video alongside Venezuelan director Edgar Esteves and Moldavian director Nikita Vilchinski. We see Ice Spice spit rhymes from her bed, join Central Cee at a party, and throw it back to the early 2000s with a Y2K-era desktop computer.
  
  Edgar Esteves previously shot the clips for Ice Spice's "Princess Diana" and Central Cee's collaboration with Asake, "Wave."
