Songfacts®:

  • This ode to the popular party drug ecstasy features vocals culled from French DJ Cedric Gervais' 2012 European hit "Molly," as well as a guest verse from Wiz Khalifa. "This is the first time me and Wiz ever worked together, really," Tyga noted to MTV News. "Wiz is real known for all his weed culture and embracing that heavy. I felt like we're close in age, we're both winning in what we're doin', it made sense."
  • When Tyga first heard S-X's beat and robotic hook, he was reminded of the ask-all app on his iPhone. "When I first heard the hook, I was like, 'It sounds like Siri,'" he told MTV News regarding the Colin Tilley-directed video. "So I was like, that would be dope if I did something like I, Robot meets Alice in Wonderland. Something crazy like that.
    "Anybody that knows what I'm talking about then you know what you feel when you're in that moment," he added, referencing the euphoric effects that Molly is said to have. "From the lights to how everything is and how you look at everything. I just wanted to make the video like that - real black-light, glow-in-the-dark, crazy type of stuff."
