The song is an ode to his failed relationship with new mom Kylie Kardashian. In an interview with Complex, Tyga admitted that his split with Kylie was painful. He owes the album’s creation to their breakup. “I wouldn’t have made this album [without going through that],” he said. “I needed God to test me. I needed him to put me through fire and make me feel what it’s like.”.
The video was directed by Riveting Entertainment’s Arrad Rahgoshay.
