Background

The song originally came about in January 2014 when Jeremih performed the song live featuring Chance the Rapper.[1] However, this would be relegated to a remix, as the official version features J. Cole.[2] Another remix was released featuring R&B singer August Alsina. The official version originally premiered January 17, 2015. The album version of the song omits the female voice in the intro which referenced the original album title, "Thumpy Johnson".
