[5] The song's release represents Uzi's first song since their ongoing feud with their record label and since becoming a signee of Jay-Z's Roc Nation management firm. [6] [7] [8]

Initially being a single for Uzi's second studio album, it was revealed that it would be cut from the album with the reveal of the tracklist, which excluded Sanguine Paradise.

[9] The song before being reworked was noted as having "the presence of some intense MIDI brass" while the reworked version was described as "opting for a more subdued variant." [10] It is composed of "light piano rhythms along with trumpet beats." [11] [12]
