Background

In an interview with Complex, Potter Payper called it the favourite song from his mixtape, Thanks For Waiting. He went on to say that while he did not like the song at first, after it he did the spoken word, the song "had a new depth and a new meaning".[2]

The music video was released in December 2021 with an alternate live audio version of the track. It features Potter in a glowing 1992 Volkswagen Golf MK1 flatbed truck ridden on a dark road.
