Songfacts®:

  • This song finds Vic Mensa calling up the liquor delivery service Liquor Locker with the intention of getting wasted The track features a verse by Ty Dolla $ign. Mensa told Billboard magazine: "Ty Dolla $ign is my homie. I was thinking about doing a song with him. We had been talking about putting something together so I just told Papi Beatz like 'Let's make some s--t we can put Ty Dolla $ign on.'"

    "Ty is so fresh to me because he's a phenomenal musician. He plays the bass. Some of the dopest Ty Dolla $ign music I've heard is just him over guitars, over some more musical s--t like 'Horses in a Stable' on his album Free TC. That's what I was thinking about [while making "Liquor Locker"]. We had already been jamming that in the crib in L.A. when his album dropped so I was like let's make some s--t for me and Ty. That's just what Papi Beatz came up with."
