In a new interview with Zane Lowe on Apple Music, Cardi talked about how she decided to pivot away from the sexual themes of that song and make a song that—like her first mixtape—is inspired by Chicago drill. “I was young, and I liked that and everything, so my mixtape was very all about gangster violence. If it’s up, then it’s stuck, and that’s where I wanted to take it with this record.”

In a YouTube livestream before the video premiere, Cardi said she wanted the track to be more “hood” as her last one “too sexy.” “I wanted to do something more gangsta, more cocky.”
