Although it was never intended to be released as an actual album single, the song was instead released as a buzz single to generate further attention for Elliott's third album. The song was released promotionally two weeks prior to the release of Elliott's third album and charted moderately on Billboard Hot Rap Songs and Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks. Prior to its release, the song appeared as a snippet in the music video to Elliott's preceding single, "Get Ur Freak On".

In April 2008, the song was used during Anete Jensen & Daniel Sarr's "hip-hop" challenge as part of the second-week run of the now-defunct international reality dance competition, So You Think You Can Dance Scandinavia.

"Lick Shots" contains an uncredited sample of "Simchat He'amel", by Effi Netzer.
