According to Soulja Boy, the song was recorded during a live Twitch broadcast as a freestyle, on his personal computer.[7]

Dance and music video

Soulja Boy originally self-promoted the song on the Chinese video-sharing platform TikTok by doing an assortment of short dances to the beginning of the song,[8] eventually fleshing out the dance and starting a viral trend on both the TikTok and Triller platforms, accumulating millions of views on both the original videos and various user-made video replies.[9]

The music video was directed by Dale Resteghini. It begins with Soulja Boy making a video call to a friend on his cellphone to tell him the song has gone viral; it then moves on to show Soulja Boy, accompanied by several celebrities and TikTok users, as well as many women in bikinis, performing the dance to the song in various locations both in and outside a luxury mansion. The video premiered on YouTube on April 30, 2021. The video features rappers Desiigner, Chief Keef, and several female dancers doing the dance from the viral TikTok videos.
