In September 2018, Trippie Redd posted a snippet of the song as well as the single's cover, which was inspired by one of his personal muses, Gorillaz. He appears in religious attire while levitating in the artwork.[1] Redd premiered the song through Zane Lowe's Beats 1 on October 22, 2018.[2] He described the song as "Singing real shit that people all over the world can relate to — timeless."[3]
