Background
"Millionaire" premiered via Billboard on June 2, 2016, before it was released as a single the following day.[3] On August 12, the trio released a remix EP for "Millionaire", as well as an Alan Walker remix, which was released separately on September 2.[4]
Composition and recording
The song was written by Nelly, Nicholas Gale, Eldra Debarge, Etterlene Jordan, Jason Epperson, Alexander Makhlouf, Jean Paul Makhlouf, Lavell Webb, and Samuel Frisch, with production being handled by Cash Cash and Digital Farm Animals.[1] According to Jean Paul Makhlouf, the group sent 20 hours in the studio working on the song.[5] One of the lyrics pays homage to Nelly's hit single "Ride wit Me", where he sings "Hey, must be the money."[3]
"It was nuts because it was such a different process for us. We didn't know what to expect you know, his work versus ours. We just didn’t know what to expect. When he came in he lit up the room. The energy was on fire. He showed us a different way to make music. A lot of the times we get stiff in the studio, the three of us, very work oriented and very tight. He was just so loose and brought the party. I think it shows in the song we made. It’s such a feel good, fun song."[6]
Music video
A music video for the song, directed by Sesan Ogunro, was released on June 27, 2016.[7] The video features Nelly in a mansion throwing a house party with cars and beautiful people.[8]
