=== Pre-Release ===
The song was first recorded on March 12, 2018 as an unfinished demo known as "Time."https://pillowcase.su/f/b2077dfe4653a4fbb40edbbcd8a5d3f8 The song at this point had most likely been intended to have had a second verse which had never been recorded and was substituted for the interlude featuring dialogue from him and Rubi Rose.
The song may have originally been intended to have been the outro to Die Lit with the song "Check Please" taking its spot as the intro instead. However, Check Please was leaked prior to the record's release and was left off of the final tracklist for it. The song had officially released alongside the rest of Die Lit on March 12, 2018.
=== Post-Release ===
A remix of the song featuring an extended outro was played at Carti's Rolling Loud set in 2019.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wdAIJb-tbdw&t=195s
