The song became Scarface's most successful single to date, making it to number 12 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Music executive J Prince, in a 2018 interview with Rap Radar, stated that he asked Puff Daddy if the Notorious B.I.G. would also like to feature on the song, but after discovering that 2Pac would feature, he declined. The chorus contains an interpolation of "Tell Me If You Still Care" by The S.O.S. Band.
