• Ross shot the song's music video with Gil Green. "The 'Aston Martin' video was definitely some sh--," the rapper told MTV News. "Me, Drake, Birdman came out, Chrisette Michele.

• Aston Martin Lagonda Limited is a British manufacturer of luxury sports cars, based in Gaydon, Warwickshire. The name is derived from Lionel Martin who founded the company in 1921 and from the fact that Martin used to race cars near Aston Clinton in Buckinghamshire. A long association between screen hero James Bond and the Aston Martin began with the silver DB5 that appears in Goldfinger, (1964) and Thunderball, (1965).
