In an interview with HipHop DX, Lord Finesse described "Put It On":

:[Columbia Records] wanted something with a hook that would be kinda catchy, and something they could get radio play with. Like, everything [L] did was dark, and it was gangsta, and it waswhat was the [popular style at the time]? Horror-core. So they needed something bright, something friendly. And Put It On just matched everything perfect . . . Put it on, the slangwas like do your thing. Put it on Big L, put it on [meaning] you gotta do your thing, you gotta represent.

It was also sampled in dubstep artist Datsik's song "Firepower".
