Songfacts®:

  • DJ Khaled enlisted the help of Jay Z as well as frequent collaborators Rick Ross, Meek Mill and French Montana for the lead single of his eighth studio album, I've Changed a Lot. "Every summer's mine," the Miami-based mogul said when he spoke to MTV News on April 28, 2014 to announce the song. "I'm the king of the anthems. It's been seven summers. Well now, it's gonna be eight summers. Summer's mine man."

    Khaled is referring to previous posse cuts like 2007's "I'm So Hood" featuring T-Pain, Trick Daddy, Rick Ross and Plies, 2011′s "I'm On One" with Drake, Rick Ross and Lil Wayne, and 2013′s "No New Friends" featuring Drake, Rick Ross and Lil Wayne.
  • Sounds like Jay-z is taking a jab at Drake on his verse when he spits:

    "Haters wanna ball, let me tighten up my draw string
    Wrong sport, boy, you know you're as soft as a Lacrosse team."

    Lacrosse is a sport that's popular in Canada and this appears to be a response to Drake's shot at the happily married Hova on his sports-metaphored freestyle "Draft Day" where he rapped:

    "I'm focused on makin' records and gettin' bigger
    Just hits, no misses
    That's for the married folks."

    The fact that the song was produced by Mike Zombie, who is part of Drake's rapper's OVO Sound crew and helmed the Toronto MC's "Started from the Bottom" hit tune, adds further weight to Jay's jab.
  • The single's cover art features Khaled clenching a gold chain between his gold grill-covered teeth. The artwork on Mississippi rapper Kolley's debut Mixtape, RNS, features a similar close-up of the rapper's face biting a gold chain, matching his gold grill. He accused the Miami producer of stealing the idea from his mixtape cover.
  • The Gil Green-directed video was filmed in several locations in Miami and features DJ Khaled, Meek Mill, French Montana and Rick Ross. Jay-Z does not physically appear in the clip, but Timbaland, Ace Hood and Internet star Lil Terio all make cameo appearances.
