Drake debuted this diss single on his Apple Beats 1 OVO Sound Radio program on January 30, 2016. The blistering track features Drizzy taking shots at his nemesis Meek Mill over a menacing beat. The pair's beef dates back July 2015 to when Meek Mill claimed that a ghost writer writes Drake's lyrics.

Looking for revenge All summer sixteen All summer sixteen Playing dirty not clean Out in front of Four Seasons When Meek Mill came to Toronto as part of the Pinkprint Tour, he stayed at the Four Seasons. I let the diss record drop, you was staying right below me, n---a We must have played it a hundred times, you was going to bed Why would I put on a vest I expect you to aim for the head? Drake checked into the same hotel and played his diss track "Back to Back" on repeat in a room directly above him. just to tease Mill.

Just 15 minutes after the song's premiere, Meek Mill fired back with "War Pain." The Philly rapper's track addresses several of Drake's lines directly, including both depicting a scenario in which the two are staying at the same hotel in Toronto. Mill later claimed insider knowledge enabled him to mimic Drake's lyrics stating in an Instagram post that the ghost writer revealed Drake's rhymes to him.
