"Swangin" is a tribute to Houston's classic car culture,Stalley explained. "I know they're real heavy into the Cadillacs and the American muscle cars and the old-schools like we [in Ohio] are. They kind of invented that swang,that swag,and that swangin',so I wanted to pay homage to those guys. There wasn't a better person to do it with than [Houston native] Scarface." [2] The song contains samples of Mint Condition's "U Send Me Swingin'" &G-Side's "Swangin" featuring Darrien and The Speed of Sound Choir,the song is from the album Starshipz &Rocketz produced by The Block Beattaz.

On November 20,2013,Stalley released the remix to "Swangin" featuring Houston rappers Lil' Keke,Trae tha Truth,Bun B,E.S.G.,and Chamillionaire. [7]
Khari Nixon of The Source wrote of the song:"though its reminiscent of his former material,its slightly more captivating,and just when you think Stalley's laid back vocals will lull you to sleep,Scarface steps into the booth without a hiccup and lays down a near-perfect verse". [8] David Drake of Complex remarked:"Calling a song with a Houston rapper 'Swangin' is perhaps the least imaginative possible concept for a record. But it's the little things:Block Beattaz' nuanced,sparkling production sounds clear and labored-over,their attention to detail unparalleled." [9]
