Everybody's in there,my grandma,my mom,my brother —it's like they were a pack of wolves and they were the sweetest and strongest. It's one of my favorites on the album." [5] When asked how he collaborated with Post Malone,he said:
Post Malone heard it early. I ran into him at a restaurant,and we were kicking it. It was like a mutual-respect-type of exchange. We were both working,so I'm like,"I got this song. See what you think." When I sent it to him he was like,"Man,this is incredible. I have to,let's do it." A$AP Rocky is on there too,at the very beginning just doing some ad-libs. [5]
Big Sean also revealed in that interview that ASAP Rocky originally had a verse on the song,but it was moved to another song on Detroit 2. [5]
