According to E! News, during an interview session that streamed on Youtube prior to the launch of the video song, Cardi told that director Tanu Muino filmed it over a two-day shoot in December.
In the context of the new song, the Grammy winner also told that "The biggest inspiration for this song, I wanted a more hood song. I felt like my last song was too sexy. ... I wanted to do something more gangster, more cocky." While providing insight into her latest song's origins during an interview with Zane Lowe on Apple Music that was released at the same time as the video she said, "My last song was very sexual, very sexual, so I always want my next songs to be different than the one before. If it's up, then it's stuck. That's where I wanted to take it with this record," as per E! News.
The 'Money' songstress also hinted that her next album release might be complicated by the fact that she would want to tour the album right away, and it remains unclear when live shows will resume amid the ongoing pandemic.
