Background
The song samples Dazz Band's "Let It Whip". Space Primates brought the initial track idea with the sample flip to Dr. Luke who then sent it to Lunchmoney. Lunchmoney discussed the song's conception: "The ‘let it whip, child’… [...] It was a real uptempo disco song. When I heard the sample, it really drove me to it and I was thinking, ‘this is funky… I like it’. And I wrote some verses, played it to Dr. Luke and he really liked it. Then we got in Chloe Angelides; she’s an awesome songwriter with a crazy voice."[4]
