Songfacts®:

  • Here, Travis Scott portrays himself as a modern outlaw as he describes the loyalty he and his Cactus Jack Records gang shares.
  • Young Thug shows up with a crude verse in which he discusses his sexual activities. The pair are frequent collaborators; the song got dropped just one week after Scott featured on Thugger's So Much Fun track "Hop Off The Jet."
  • Atlanta producer Buddah Bless supplied the trippy instrumentation. Along with Chris Brown's "Heat," it was one of about 300 beats the producer made using a keyboard he had just bought.
  • The video sees Quincy Jones attending a wild, twerk-filled house party alongside Scott and Young Thug, who is rapping above the crowd. We see the legendary Thriller producer in the bathroom, splashing a passed out girl's face with water and also exiting the revelries while eating a sandwich.
