Songfacts®:

  • Migos' debut single finds the trio rapping about their penchant for wearing clothing and jewelry from the titular Italian fashion house.
  • The song was produced by Migos' frequent collaborator Atlanta producer Zaytoven. The Atlanta producer's beat was originally taken by Plies for "Bitch a Hoe" and then by Soulja Boy for "OMG Pt. 2," before landing on "Versace."
  • When the song first blew up it came to the attention of Drake, who rapped a verse to create a remix. The result was that it went viral, entering the Billboard Hot 100. Drake performed the tune at the 2013 iHeartRadio Music Festival.
