Stalley previously detailed how the collaboration came together during an interview with Billboard. “One day we was talking and he was like, ‘Yo bro, send me a record to hop on,’” he said, as caught by HipHopDX. “I had that [beat] sitting not for long [because] I was working on my album. I had just put the hook and verse on it and there was an open verse. I’m like, ‘I’ma send it to him and see what he thinks.’ He sent it right back. He sent it back faster than some rappers.” In addition to working on Stalley's track, Durant also received an A&R credit on Drake's For All The Dogs in 2023.
