This is the opening track from Drake's So Far Gone EP. It was originally released as a mixtape, however due to the success of the singles, "Best I Ever Had" and "Successful," it was decided that it should be released as an EP available for purchase with five of the eighteen songs from the mixtape plus two new tracks.
Drake explained to ShockHound: "I was with this female at the time, and that song is about where I felt her head was at. She was lost in a world that I understood very well, but I didn't understand why she was there."
Regarding the fictional city Houstatlantavegas, Drake told MTV News: "It was a world that was very much real to me, but I created it in my mind. It was a world that, being a kid from Toronto, I used to look at from the outside and I used to be like, 'Man that looks crazy. All those strip clubs and all those nightclubs and the drinks and the girls and the fame."
