  • Speaking to Artist Direct about his contribution to the track Euro said: "I put a lot into that verse. I'm letting people know I'm new, and I'm trying to gain respect. That's the mode I was in. I didn't want to waste time talking about anything crazy. If I would've dreamed about this moment, it would've only fallen short."
