Background

On September 23, 2016, five days belong the single was released, Juicy announced via Twitter that a viewing party would be available on TIDAL, which was streamed two days before its release. [3] The track was supposed to be part of Juicy's fourth studio album Rubba Band Business , but didn't end up on the tracklist when the album was released in December 2017. [4]
