It was written by members B-Real and DJ Muggs, and produced by the latter, who used a sample of Gary Burton's song "Las Vegas Tango".

It was released in February 1996 via Ruffhouse/Columbia Records as the second single from the group's third studio album, III: Temples of Boom.

Q-Tip's remix version of the song appeared in Cypress Hill's 1996 Unreleased and Revamped EP.

The original song (retitled as "Ilusiones") was translated in Spanish for 1999 greatest hits album Los grandes éxitos en español.

According to James Masterton, the song marked a change in direction for Cypress Hill, "being more laid back than anything they have ever released before, so much so that it is almost ambient in tone".
