Everybody's in there, my grandma, my mom, my brother it's like they were a pack of wolves and they were the sweetest and strongest. It's one of my favorites on the album." When asked how he collaborated with Post Malone, he said:
Post Malone heard it early. I ran into him at a restaurant, and we were kicking it. It was like a mutual-respect-type of exchange. We were both working, so I'm like, "I got this song. See what you think." When I sent it to him he was like, "Man, this is incredible. I have to, let's do it." A$AP Rocky is on there too, at the very beginning just doing some ad-libs.Big Sean also revealed in that interview that ASAP Rocky originally had a verse on the song, but it was moved to another song on 'Detroit 2'.
Music video
The official music video was released on November 20, 2020. It features a cameo from Big Sean's mother, Myra Anderson. Sean and Post Malone "trade haunting verses in a sleek white warehouse", and also in front of a big red circle resembling a super blood wolf moon.
