The song was primarily written by B.o.B, Nicki Minaj, DJ Frank E, and Alex da Kid.

[citation needed] Andrew Unterberger gave the song a "3 star" rating, criticizing B.o.B, by saying, "Really, it was never a fair fight.

seems like a very nice young man, but intimidatingly deranged he is not, and his verses (featuring couplets like 'I was doing fine / Until my brain left, and it didn't say bye' and 'I am a rebel but yes I'm so militant / Still I'm eligible for disabilities') are as convincing of his insanity as a 12-year-old telling an obviously fraudulent story of the action he got last summer at overnight camp."

The video made its full premiere on August 23, 2012 on BET's 106 & Park and shortly after, uploaded to B.o.B's official YouTube account.
