The song heavily samples Jay Fay's 2013 song "Dibby Dibby", featured on T&A Records' Moombahton Forever compilation album. which in turn samples "The Wickedest Sound" by Rebel MC featuring Tenor Fly. Jay reworked the song with Fresh, and Ms. Dynamite's vocals were added later. When asked, "What's your single Dibby Dibby Sound all about?" by Andrew Williams of Metro UK, Fresh responded, "It's a fun piece of music – fun is what that track stands for. Ms. Dynamite's on it. She co-wrote "Gold Dust" with me so I see it as a sequel to that. I get involved with writing – some producers send backing tracks to people and get a song sent back. That's not how I operate. The song is a really important part of the track". In addition, Fresh conducted his own "extensive research of traditional Brazilian drum beats to re-create an authentic carnival sound, re-playing and re-creating individual drum beats and sounds himself". It has a rhythm of new jack swing.
