• On July 12, 2020, Megan Thee Stallion left a house party in a SUV with Canadian rapper Tory Lanez and her friend Kelsey. There was an altercation, and when Megan tried to leave the vehicle, she claims Lanez shot her several times, causing her to sustain gunshot wounds to her foot. The Texan uses the opening moments of her debut album to address the incident without naming her perpetrator.
• When police showed up to the initial incident, Megan told them glass caused her wounds as she feared the cops would start shooting. A few days later the she said she'd been fired at. Here, Megan claims that Lanez "would have been indicted" had she informed the police straight away he'd shot her, adding: "Should've let them lock your ass up."
• Having put her version of the shooting in the spotlight at the beginning of Good News, Megan then ends the conversation. She focuses throughout the rest of the album on her usual topics of sex, money, and self-confidence.
• Atlanta producer Buddah Bless, who also collaborated with Megan on "Don't Stop," supplied the beat. His other credits include 2 Chainz' "Big Amount," Migos' "Supastars" and Chris Brown's "Heat."
• The track notably samples The Notorious B.I.G.'s "Who Shot Ya?" Despite never naming 2Pac, Biggie's track started a rap battle with the West Coast rapper, which is widely speculated to be the cause of 2Pac's 1994 studio shooting.
• Speaking to Hot 97, Megan explained that she recorded the response track the day after the shooting but held it back until the release of Good News.
  
  "When you know you're right and you know you have nothing to prove, you really don't have to give a response," she said. "But once you made it rap beef, you put it on wax, now I gotta say something."
  
  "I really had the song all ready but I was like, 'You know what, let me just save it for the album.' Because it was ready to go the next day. I was like, you know what, let's be calm. Let's be patient" Megan continued. "Let's see how this plays out and let me just wait and put it on my album."
• Tory Lanez gave his own version of the incident on his "Money Over Fallouts" track, during which he claims to have been stitched up.
