"We were chillin' at Drake's house, playing [NBA] 2K, and we came up with the idea to [use] a female artist, to sample a female artist," said Murda Beatz, who is also the mastermind behind Migos' "MotorSport" and Travis Scott's "Butterfly Effect." "So I asked my manager, like, 'Yo, what do you think?' He's like, '[Lauryn Hill's] "Ex-Factor."' And Drake's like, 'Oh, what part?' And we picked the part, chopped it up, I made the beat while he was playing 2K. [...] He's like, 'This **** fire.' He sat there, wrote the **** in front of me, cut the **** in front of me. We got the **** done, beat and song, probably in like an hour and a half."
