In a recent Sirius XM listening session, LL spoke on the recording process for the song. "When Q-Tip made the beat, I was like 'Yo me and Em would be crazy on this.' I sent him the beat, and once he heard the beat, me and Em went to Dr. Dre's studio."
The way the process was, I would write my rhyme and lay it then leave. He would come in and hear it, I would leave and he would write his rhyme. We went back and forth in the booth without seeing each other record until we did the very last thing together."
