Badu made the song with Poyser, producer/engineer Steve Mandel, Thundercat, and others, according to Pitchfork. Along with the cover, an instrumental version has also been released.

Earlier this year, Badu performed alongside Yasiin Bey in San Francisco. The two did Bey's song "Umi Says" during Badu's show at The Warfield Theatre.
