In an interview with this publication before the first release of the song, !Sooks revealed that they actually started working on the song three years ago.

He further encouraged his fans to listen to the record once it was released. “All the stuff that I am going to drop this year is tailored and engineered for the floor. So people should just expect stuff that is for the club; that’s where I’m at now, and that’s what I am doing at the moment. So far, the song has been reviewed by Vinny Da Vinci, Sculptured Music, Lulo Café, and more. They love it, and it’s quite overwhelming; I am looking forward to the drop!” ! Sooks said.
