Over a dancehall-inspired rhythm, PartyNextDoor delivers sexual bars about that how he will run up on a certain girl because of her intoxicating love: You ain't gotta wait for it You ain't gotta wait for me to give you my love You ain't gotta wait for it Things are gettin' sticky, girl I think that I'm stuck Nicki Minaj comes in later and spits the third verse in a Caribbean flow in which she brings designer clothes and reveals that she's about to "drop an album."
Major Lazer's Diplo explained the background to the two guest vocalists contributions: "Partynextdoor is a good friend of ours. We're always working in LA when he is around and we've cut a lot of music and we really believe in what he does and his style. He came up with a great song. I've always wanted to work with Nicki as well, she's on our short list. Of course this record… she just vibed with it, she loved the feeling and timing was right so we got her on it."
Diplo told Billboard magazine how PartyNextDoor's hook triggered the song: "We're always working on music, we probably have between 30, 40 songs at any moment, just building ideas. This one, PartyNextDoor had the chorus and we had the song - a demo of it - and we decided to try something different with the production. I think once we did this kind of futuristic, afrobeat, dance house kind of production, Nicki Minaj was really interested in that. She's always someone to jump on new and cool beats and styles, so once we had the production, she was into it. Then after that, it was pretty easy to get everything else done."
