During an interview with Spin, Cabello explained that the group "fell in love" with the song after hearing it mostly for its "laid-back" and "chill" atmosphere that featured an "a kind of urban pocket". She explained that was the reason she and her groupmates loved the track because it "branched out in different ways" than anything they ever recorded.

He brought it." Once again, Dolla $ign channels what he deems is a better time for mankind, specifically man, by alluding that she rides a 1963. Another intellectual reference is made by stating that the man will not buy his lady “Celine”.

"Our song was originally called 'Work' and when Rihanna dropped, it was like, 'Hell no, can't have the same song as the queen,'" Fifth Harmony's Dinah Jane Hansen told Billboard magazine. Dolla $ign first appears in the song, publicizing himself as the voice of the man, in a very domineering manner, demanding a girl to go work for him.
