Background

Post Malone said in an interview with Genius that "After A$AP Yams passed I recorded this song, so it's kind of an ode to him. We weren't friends but I think it was so cool how he was a cultural icon and he inspired so many people to do what they wanted to do. And he had such an influence on the youth of today. I think it was a tragedy that he went so soon. I just thought it was the right thing, to pay tribute to him. Then, in Dallas, this kid Christian Taylor passed. And he was on to this song before he was killed, and that is surreal. I was living with a kid in Dallas and I don’t know what happened but apparently the cops shot him and a couple days before he was killed he did the lyrics to my song. That is a crazy scenario. Fans have said it means a lot to them and I think that’s cool how a song reminds us that we can reach others with a different perspective and it can mean something to them as well. Everybody can relate to something in a certain way".
