Background
On April 21, 2024, Gunna previewed the song on social media.[1] Prior to its release and the disclosure of the title, it was called "Push Back" by listeners due to the constant use of the phrase in the chorus.[2] Turbo told Billboard that the chorus was inspired by a six figure wire transfer that Gunna received to perform at a private party.[3]
