In a January 2022 interview with Rory & Mal, producer Jermaine Dupri revealed that he wrote the first verse to the song while Da Brat wrote the second verse. This is why the second verse involves Lil Bow Wow using a faster flow on many different parts, as Dupri requested Da Brat to write the verse in the same cadence where she would typically use when she raps.[1]
