Written by Bizarre, Eminem and Luis Resto, the song was produced by Eminem with Resto's additional production. Recording sessions took place at 54 Sound in Detroit with Mike Strange and Tony Campagna. Audio mixing was handled by Eminem and Steve King.

The song continues on the plot from the D12 single "My Band", focusing on Bizarre leaving D12 to make a successful solo career. The music video shows the truth however, as there are no fans in the audience when Bizarre raps "I'm on stage with thousands of fans". Bizarre's slob, pervert, and violent image are also promoted, with a messy room, "girls thirteen to eighteen," and punching a waitress. AllMusic reviewer David Jeffries calls the song "an equally infectious and herky-jerky sequel" to "My Band".
