It was originally released in early 2006 by Ed Banger Records on the Pop the Glock/Ready to Uff EP.

The original release gained Uffie attention from the media, fans and critics alike and landed her a record deal with French electronic label Ed Banger Records.

"Pop the Glock" was written by Uffie and produced by Feadz, and is in large-part based both lyrically and musically on Audio Two's "Top Billin".

"Pop the Glock" was re-released as an EP on November 30, 2009 as a promotional tool for her debut album Sex Dreams and Denim Jeans (2010), where it was ultimately included.

The release also included three remixes of "Pop the Glock" by producers Mirwais (who collaborated with Uffie on her upcoming album), Felix da Housecat and Ellen Allien.
