Songfacts®:

  • This is a track from blink-182 drummer Travis Barker's first solo album, Give The Drummer Some. The song features rapper/producer Pharrell Williams and Chicago Hip Hop artist Lupe Fiasco.
  • Barker told Musicradar.com how the track came together: "Pharrell and I were in the studio, working on a bunch of beats. We had a few things going on, and then he said, 'Hey, check this one out' - it was something he had done with Lupe. It was kind of sped-up, very uptempo, and man, I was trippin', it was so good.
    I put my drums on it that night, and after that, the song was pretty much a wrap. It's the one song on the album I didn't have my hands on in the production, but I love it."
