Background

[edit]

The song contains a guitar sample from Electric Soul - Guitar Loops and Riffs by Treehouz.[2][3] Blxst told Billboard that working on the song was just "a normal day", explaining: "I was just working. It felt fun creating it. Something about it felt different. It gave a different energy as I was recording it. Then Ty Dolla Sign laid his verse, and it was all up from there."[4]

Music video

[edit]

An accompanying video was released on March 25, 2021. According to a press release from Red Bull Records, the inspiration behind the video was three college films: School Daze (1988), Love & Basketball (2000) and Stomp the Yard (2007). It shows the three artists holding a party at "Evgle University", "tailgating with cheerleaders at football games to partying at frat houses with the step team".[5] As of August 2022, the video has over 65 million views.

Live performance
