Background and release
editIn early June 2014, shortly after the song's release, Migos told MTV about recording the song with Bieber, who visited them in February 2014: "He was in Atlanta, he came to our city and we linked with him. It wasn't no 'send' situation -- we [were] in the booth and working with him was pretty cool. He's laid back, he be chillin', he's a young nigga so it was fun. We knocked it out in about 20 minutes like we'd do any other track," they added. "It wasn't no pressure or nothing like that."[1]
Composition
editThe track describes Bieber entering a club with Migos at his side, finding a girl there who he is attracted to but can't lose. He reminds her that he'll be looking for her because of this.[2] Quavo, Takeoff and Offset take turns respectively rapping about pulling up to the club with Bieber, their lifestyle and their fame.[3]
