Songfacts®:

  • In this track, Tion Wayne reflects on past struggles and boasts about the fruits of his success. He reminds his haters of his position in the streets as he tells them he's going "in for the kill."
  • During the chorus, Wayne flips La Roux's 2009 hit "In For The Kill," putting a drill spin on the pop track.
  • Litek and Whyjay supplied the beat. The two Manchester-based producers are behind some of ArrDee's biggest hits, including "Flowers (Say My Name)" and "War."
  • When the song debuted at #16 on the UK singles chart, it gave La Roux her first Top 20 hit since "Bulletproof" topped the tally in 2009.
  • Shot in Mexico, the WOWA-directed video finds Wayne and model Yasmine Lopez getting involved with a Mexican drug lord. La Roux also appears in the cinematic clip.
