The song serves as the first collaboration between KSI and Lil Wayne. Speaking of the song and collaboration,KSI said,"If you told me 10 years ago that this was gonna happen,I would have laughed in your face and blocked you from my contacts. But here we are,it's a reality. Me and Lil Wayne have come together on a track no one will expect. From the singing chorus to the amazing verses,this is a song that will live on for decades". [4]
In May 2021,KSI announced that he has a collaboration with a big artist whose name ends with the letter "E",which led fans to speculate it to either be Lil Wayne or Canadian rapper Drake. [5] However,in July 2021,model Ravyn Rochelle,who participates in the music video for the song,confirmed that Wayne would be the co-lead artist. KSI eventually revealed the co-lead artist and the song on 30 July 2021. [6] On 4 August 2021,he stated that there would be a music video to accompany the song. [7]

Joshua Robinson from HotNewHipHop referred to the music that Lil Wayne created on his seventh studio album, Rebirth (2010),and felt that fans "will be delighted to hear the legendary rapper return to his pop-runk aesthetic,and all-in-all,his chemistry with KSI makes for a solid record". Pop-runk refers to pop,rap,and punk combined. [8] Akaash of HipHopNMore said that "it has a rock element to it,adding a new genre to the mix,which is why the album title is what it is",referring to KSI's second studio album, All Over the Place .
A music video premiered to KSI's YouTube channel nine hours after the song on 6 August 2021. [9] Himself and Lil Wayne are in a therapist's office,talking about their problems with women "before being launched into wild,animated explorations of their psyches". [10]
