  • The song was penned by Far East Movement along with Norwegian pop/dance producer Andreas Schuller, whose working name is Axident and Oakland hip-hop artist Ricky Reed, who records under the pseudonym of Wallpaper.
  • The song was inspired by the energy that Far East Movement felt from the crowd during their tour with Lil Wayne. "Everyone says, 'Turn it up, turn it up,'" group member Kev Nish explained to Radio.com. "We felt the love from the audience [and] we said, 'Let's challenge ourselves. Can we make a club song that doesn't talk about any type of bottles or anything else in the club?' So we did."
