Background
Trippie Redd first teased the song in December 2017, but the snippet was removed and re-uploaded in early March 2018. On April 4, 2018, he posted a second snippet on his Instagram story, which showed him in a studio with rapper Nebu Kiniza. Although this raised speculation of a guest appearance in the song, the collaboration did not happen.
The song was released on August 6, 2018. That same day, Redd also revealed the tracklist for his album Life's A Trip, which was released four days later.[1]
