Reflecting on the collaboration, Girl Talk, also known as Gregg Gillis, expressed, “T-Pain is a living legend and an absolute master of his craft. It was an honor to create music with him once again. I was thrilled to incorporate T-Pain’s vocals into a sample-based production, giving him a fresh sound that blends elements of the past with a modern twist.”
Gillis further added, “After completing T-Pain’s parts, I knew that having Yaeji on the track would be incredible. Her unique vocal style contrasts beautifully with T-Pain’s, and she also contributed the synth part that serves as the outro.”
