Background

The single was released to iTunes and Royce da 5'9's YouTube VEVO channel on May 3, 2018. Its release was accompanied with a music video, which was directed by James Larese.[1]

A remix, featuring American rapper Logic, is included on the bonus track edition of Royce's Book of Ryan. Originally, Logic was meant to appear on the main version of the song, but was later replaced by Eminem. Royce explained that this was because he and Logic "couldn't figure out a good time for us to be able to shoot [the video]."[2]
