Background
Drake has described Smiley as an "inspiration" for his Scorpion album and that he had also listened to Smiley's previous EP.[6] This relationship leading back to 2014 led to the collaboration of "Over the Top".[2] At the time the single was released, it was also announced that Drake had signed Smiley to his label OVO Sound, in conjunction with Warner Records.[2] In a tweet, Smiley stated that Drake and him had originally recorded a different song, but it leaked online.[6] In the song, the pair go verse for verse.[7] Smiley's verse was noted for his "one of a kind flow" and his "cartoonish Snaggletooth wheeze" voice.[8][9]
Production was handled by American record producer Tay Keith.[3][6][7]
