Russ Vitale is an American hip-hop recording artist of Italian ancestry who records under the name of Russ. The Atlanta based singer's self-produced tracks on his SoundCloud page attracted the interest of record labels and in 2016, Russ signed to Columbia Records. This song is his debut hit.
Vitale explained to Genius that he wrote the song around the time that he first started getting interest from labels. "At that time, I was like 'I know what y'all want. Stop talking to me.' That was the inspiration, "he said. "Everyone wanted a piece. NOW y'all talking to me, but I know what y'all want."
Vitale followed his usual writing process with this song of creating the melody first, then fitting the words into the melody. "That first verse melody, that s--t instantly came out, and the words kind of came out, too," he said. "This one, I made the beat in the studio and instantly did. It's a minimal beat. I like minimal. It's like four instruments. So it didn't take long at all."
