[3] It was co-written by Ed Sheeran and produced by Steve Mac. [4] [5] It is Payne's first release as a solo lead artist since 2018's "First Time".

Payne performed an acoustic version of the song at Vevo's New York City studio and released it digitally on 16 October 2019. [8] [9]
"Stack It Up" was written by Ed Sheeran, [10] Artist Dubose,Steve McCutcheon and Frederik Gibson,while production was handled by Steve Mac. [7] Musicially,the song has been described as a midtempo track [11] and urban pop, [1] with influences from trap and hip hop music. [12]
Speaking on the KISS Breakfast show,Payne discussed writing the song with Sheeran stating,"We changed a couple things about the song because the song,in a sense,is kind of one-dimensional in a way,in that it's about making money. It's better to make money with or for someone,to share with someone." [13]
Patrick Hosken of MTV stated,"Payne's got the chops,bounding from low croon to higher-register sultry swagger with ease... it still manages to lend 30 seconds to a boastful verse from A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie that also gives some life advice based on experience." [7] Sade Spence of Elite Daily called the track "infectious." [12] Salvatore Maicki of The Fader remarked,"it's all about reaping the benefits of late capitalism. A Boogie Wit da Hoodie agrees with Payne's sentiments,emphasized by his guest verse on the track. If,upon first listen,the song sounds like something Ed Sheeran would smear onto this world." [14]
The music video for "Stack It Up" was released on 18 September 2019. The video shows Payne and A Boogie wit da Hoodie dancing and playing games in an arcade,as well as the pair becoming animated at one point. [12] The video was directed by Nathan R. Smith. [15]
