"That's my biggest song to date right now. I just recorded the very first part, the "Bitch, I be killing these beats" part. Then, it went crazy on TikTok, so I had to finish the song. It was this dance trend where people were freezing and acting like a picture. Videos was going up, like 2,000 videos a day."[2]
