Metro Boomin's bass-heavy beat samples the hypnotic flute from "Prison Song" by Tommy Butler. The track is from the 1976 musical Selma, in which Butler paid tribute to the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
The song's sampled flute riff sparked a popular meme on social media. The "MaskOffChallenge" inspired musicians to film themselves playing the track with their instrument of choice. The trend saw violinists, cello players, pianists and flutists uploading videos of themselves replaying the flute riff in their own special way.
