The track is full of synths, which gives Martinez's vocals the space to shine. Whack brings an extra edge to the song with her hard-hitting flows, and it proves to be a collaboration full of chemistry.
Speaking about the track, Martinez says, “I’m so thrilled to be releasing this song with the most magical artist and insanely gifted lyricist, Tierra Whack. This song was written years ago and from an empathetic perspective, even while in a very hurt place. We’re all told that imitation is flattery to ease the pain that the ego feels when other people get credited for our ideas and our work.
"But being human includes feeling a multitude of feelings, and naturally, this song came about when expressing those very raw emotions. I hope this song can not only bring comfort to anyone experiencing that feeling but also remind them to empathize with people who are just doing what society has conditioned them to believe will make them successful.”
Whack agreed with Martinez, saying she was “the sweetest, realest, most genuine person I’ve ever met. After dropping Whack World, she was one of the first people to reach out and immediately show love. So excited to share our new song together!”
