The single was released in August 2010, and is a track on the deluxe edition of Cazwell's second album Watch My Mouth.

The video, which was directed by Marco Ovando, premiered on YouTube on July 30, 2010, and received over 1 million views within a week.

The director wanted a song that had an "80s hip-hop feel" with "minimal cute noises" and was "Something summery – like going to the ice cream truck.

"[2][3] Cazwell and his engineer agreed of doing a song called "Ice Cream Truck" on the last day working with Ghuman for the film.

[10] "Ice Cream Truck" has been described by both Cazwell and other writers as a cute, simple and upbeat 1980s-style hip-hop summer anthem.

"[14] The track was well received by a writer for The Advocate, who noted the song to be "destined to rival Katy Perry's "California Gurls" as this summer's most sizzling anthem.

The dancers in the video were Avi Vichner, Alex Maravilla, Jimmy Gonzales, Cesar Abreu, Joe Buffa, Johnny Sanford, Eddie Barrena, John Byrne and Geronimo Frias.

[2] Yogurt company Snog also did a commercial taking on the music video, which also featured Cazwell and the same dancers, and was directed by Ovando.
