Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about I've Been Waiting. By Songfacts®.

This dance-ready track was recorded by Lil Peep with his friend and collaborator, iLoveMakonnen. It began as a demo from iLoveMakonnen that he played to Lil Peep in around July 2017 and was one of about 20 songs the pair collaborated on up to the rapper's death four months later.

Following Lil Peep's passing, Pete Wentz from Fall Out Boy reached out to iLoveMakonnen, offering condolences. The Atlanta singer-songwriter told Wentz that Peep was a fan of his band and he felt that his style was a combination of him (iLoveMakonnen) and Fall Out Boy. He sent Wentz this track, with his and Peep's vocals already recorded. Fall Out Boy added some elements and sent it back.

iLoveMakonnen solicited help from more songwriters and record producers to complete the song, including Louis Bell, who worked on Post Malone's "Rockstar" and Halsey's "Without Me." Bell happened to be working in the same studio when Makonnen and Peep were working on the track together. After Peep's passing, the hitmaker offered his help to Makonnen on the track. "We were getting down to mixing, he was there to help start mixing it, and piecing it together, and added production," iLoveMakonnen told Billboard. "It sort of took a new life in production then."
