Background

In an interview with Variety, Odetari stated that he made the song because he was heartbroken, saying:

{{blockquote|"As much as it seems like a playboy song, it's really a heartbreak song. I made it because I was heartbroken, and I'm trying to boost myself up by acting like I'm not a lover boy, like 'I don't care about you and I got all these girls and fuck you.' But it's really the opposite."{{cite web |last1=Shanfeld |first1=Ethan |title=Meet Odetari, the Palestinian EDM Star Who Went From Substitute Teacher to Chart Topper |url=https://variety.com/2023/music/news/odetari-new-ep-palestinian-producer-1235721579/ |website=Variety |access-date=October 29, 2023 |date=September 13, 2023}}}}
