The second single from Wretch 32's third studio album was produced by Knox Brown, who also worked on several songs for the London-based rapper's 2012 mixtape, Wretchercise. The song was released on August 18, 2013.
The song finds Wretch recalling memories of his life before fame and the unconditional need to keep striving to build a better life for his family. The rapper then reminisces about his journey to becoming a successful artist.
This features Birmingham soul vocalist, Jacob Banks. He is a member of The Renowned Group, a collective of UK artists, which Wretch 32 co-founded. Banks supported Alicia Keys on the Manchester and Nottingham legs of her 2013 UK tour.
