    The rest of Money Man's rhymes are from the mind of a street hustler as he raps about drugs, sex, wealth, and haters.
  • Atlanta producer Nflated came up with the bass-heavy beat. Nflated has supplied the instrumental to several of Money Man's other songs, including the Epidemic track "Courtesy."
  • Money Man released the song on February 21, 2020 as a single from his Epidemic mixtape. It was only when he dropped a remix version featuring Lil Baby on August 14, 2020 that "24" entered the Hot 100 chart to become his first hit on the tally.
