==Background== When asked about the record Maino said:<ref>[http://www.sohh.com/2009/07/maino_hints_at_new_realit.html Maino Hints At New Reality Show, "I Haven't Really Spoke On It"] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090709160429/http://www.sohh.com/2009/07/maino_hints_at_new_realit.html |date=2009-07-09 }}</ref> {{cquote|It was crazy, When Swizz first played it for me I said, 'Come on Swizz, I don't got a million dollars man.' He said, 'Nah, but I got a million dollars.' And we laughed. I found a way to be me without trying to look like I was more rich than what I was portraying. I didn't want to come off like I'm more richer than what I really am. It's a song about trying to spread love in the hood and giving back so I made it more or less like that.}}
