Songfacts®:

  • This chest-beating track finds B.o.B boasting about his rap dominance and how he has no need to worry about his haters and detractors. The massive, brass-laden beat was supplied by Detail, who co-wrote and produced Lil Wayne's hit single "How To Love," as well as helming several tracks on the Rich Gang album.
  • The song features Future on the chorus. "What Future brings to the song is just crazy," B.o.B told Rolling Stone. "Future came up with the hook and brought it to me first. I heard it and I loved it and so I spent a couple of days just trying to live with it and letting the music flow."

    The rapper added that the song is an example of his new writing style, where he lets things form organically. "The way I write now, I just try and let the music come to me," he explained. "I really don't try to force anything, so if I catch something like a vibe or a feeling then I catch something and go with it and let that direct me. I feel like it's a more natural way to finish songs."
