Elsewhere in the song, the singers reference the "new town road" (referring to Lil Nas X's "Old Town Road"). Nelly also himself the GOAT and refers to the Tampa Bay quarterback. "I'm the Black Tom Brady in this, I'm the GOAT now (Haha) / Shawty, I'm so up / New Orleans out to SoCal," Nelly raps. Nelly Thought It Was 'B.S.'

Nelly, who's currently competing on Dancing with the Stars, recently teased his upcoming album to Entertainment Tonight, explaining that there will be country influences throughout. "Basically, it's not a country album, but it's country-influenced. I've had a lot of great success in all formats of music, and country's been one that has accepted me and shown me a lot of love," he said last month. "Whether it's been my song ['Over and Over'] with Tim McGraw back in '04, or my song with Florida Georgia Line 'Cruise' that did unbelievable," added Nelly. "So here I get a chance to maybe tap a little bit more into that sound but bring my own Nelly flavor with this EP."

Their camaraderie backstage extended beyond their vastly different music genres, he said. “We’re backstage doing it all — barbecuing, a little bit of other stuff I’m not going to say,” Nelly said at the time. “It’s a fun vibe, and the thing I love about FGL is their appreciation for all kinds of music. They’re country artists but they’re real fans of music, period, across the board. They know their hip-hop. They know their R&B. They know their pop.”
