Songfacts®:

  • This is the opening track from The DeAndre Way, the third major label and fourth overall studio album by American rapper Soulja Boy.
  • Soulja Boy explained to Billboard magazine why this is one of his favorite songs on the album. Said the rapper: "On the first day of school everybody looks fresh - new shoes, new shirt, the girls got their hair all did up. Ever since I made it to the rap game, every day for me has been the first day of school. Every day I dress like it's the first day of school. It's a fashionable song, but my fans are going to love it because it's catchy and I swag real hard on the beat."
