Background
Goody Grace first rose to prominence in the late 2010s, for his stylistic mix of hip hop and rock. He garnered an online audience with a series of cover songs, followed by his single "Two Shots", which preceded a deal with major-label Atlantic. Grace grew up listening to Blink-182, and viewed the collaboration as an "honor". He first interacted with the band's drummer, Travis Barker, backstage at a concert. The two exchanged information, and kept in touch using social media. Barker later invited the singer-songwriter to join the band on tour, and proposed they record together. Grace had been working on "Scumbag" with production team the Futuristics, and suggested Barker and Blink bassist Mark Hoppus contribute to it as well. Hoppus assisted with developing the song's bridge.
The single was promoted as featuring Blink-182, though the band's current guitarist, Matt Skiba, is absent from the collaboration. The trio performed the single in an appearance on the late night talk show 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!', aired February 27, 2020.
