Songfacts®:

  • Dave dropped this song alongside "Mercury" on April 10, 2021. The two metal-monikered tracks were Dave's first releases since his October 2019 standalone single "Paper Cuts."
  • The song is a braggadocios cut where Dave boasts about his wealth, success with women, and how he remains at the top of the rap game despite taking a long hiatus.
  • I got stainless steel, I got platinum
    I got gold and I got titanium


    During the chorus, Dave boasts about his platinum and gold records plus his prestigious "titanium" credit card. He's likely referring to The Mastercard Titanium credit card, which is made of stainless steel and has a $195 annual fee.
  • Dave wrote the song with the track's producers, P2J (Stormzy's "Bad Boys," Beyonce's "Brown Skin Girl") and Kyle Evans (Dave's "Professor X" and "Paper Cuts").
