The hip hop song features a music sample of the song "Rocketship" performed by rock band Guster from their second album Goldfly (1997). "Pot of Gold" was originally leaked back in early April, 2011 but was then fully remastered to a new version. Unlike the album's first single, the controversial and less successful "Red Nation", "Pot of Gold" managed to attain some Billboard and worldwide chart success.
