"I remember I had just landed from Dubai, and one of my producers was making this sgija instrumental I liked the bounce of the beat, so then it hit me that I could sample that iconic part of his, so Mara made a song out of it, that’s when I called Khalil to come drop some vocals."

Tyler ICU also spoke about how he approached blending his unique sound with such a beloved classic:

"For me, blending is nothing. I have learned to find ways to just make something mine and not fear to make it sound different.
"I think the bassline was the big approach I went with when making the song cause I just wanted to sound very heavy-bodied that you just feel the lowest vibrations even through a headphone, and that alone allowed us to add the iconic flutes but with a twist to them and the choice of the vocalist that was a mission but with such great luck all the guys were happy to come together and make this vision of mine true."
