Background

The song is the first charting song by California-based rapper Ambjaay. A longer version of the song was released with more verses before it was cut down for wider commercial release.[3] Billboard called the song an "L.A. working-class song made to loosen you up around congested freeways, and feel okay after spending that much on post-shift cocktails".[3]

Remix

An official remix of the song was released on October 4, 2019, featuring guest verses from rappers Tyga and Lil Pump.[7]

Music video

The video was shot in a Bell, California taco restaurant that is turned into a club after the boss goes home.[3]

gollark: ```Instead of the programs I had hoped for, there came only a shuddering blackness and ineffable loneliness; and I saw at last a fearful truth which no one had ever dared to breathe before — the unwhisperable secret of secrets — The fact that this language of stone and stridor is not a sentient perpetuation of Rust as London is of Old London and Paris of Old Paris, but that it is in fact quite unsafe, its sprawling body imperfectly embalmed and infested with queer animate things which have nothing to do with it as it was in compilation.```
