She explained that she performed a total of 15 takes, but wasn't happy with any of them at first. "I said, 'Fifty, I don't like this, it was horrible. Like, please don't put me out there like that. I don't wanna face no more backlash,'" Yung Miami recalled. "He was like, 'You gotta start from somewhere, this putting you in a game. People always have something to say. You gotta start from somewhere. Get out your head, stop worrying about what the people gonna say. Like, this is gonna open doors for you.'"
