Basketball player DeMarcus Cousins, an associate of Yung Bleu, first reached out to Bleu, stating how much he loved his EP and how he envisioned Drake on the song. Cousins contacted Drake in the hopes of him remixing the song. Yung Bleu did not anticipate that a collaboration would occur, until three days later when Drake responded to Cousins, saying "send the record". After Yung Bleu posted the message on his Instagram, Drake eventually followed him on Instagram on October 9, and expressed interest in doing the remix.
