Background
In an interview with
Genius , Sage the Gemini spoke on the creation process behind the song:
I was working with APG (Artist Publishing Group) for a very long time and I remember when I was like 19, we tried to come up with a candy song but we just could not do it. Obviously it was very hard since it took me almost like five years to get it nailed. I don’t follow blueprints or whatever. So it just came to me. I wasn't like 'Ooh, I'm going to do this kind of song.' I heard it and as soon as they played it for me I was like 'This is a hit.' I went down there, told him to cut my microphone on, and I just started flowing out of my mind.
