Background and composition While attending a different act's showcase in Hollywood, Loud Luxury noticed Brando, who was part of the opening band. They emailed him and his manager, and eventually were presented with a hip hop demo Brando had been working on called "Body On My", which they called "silly" with a "DJ Mustard, strip-club anthem vibe". They still enjoyed Brando's vocals, so reworked the track, speeding it up and layering "emotional chords" underneath the vocal track. References in the lyrics to riding and dining in "the six" refer to a nickname for Toronto.
Music video The official lyric video was filmed in Los Angeles and stars model and wellness coach Chelcie May.https://www.modernluxury.com/chelcie-may-guide-to-wellness/
Live performances On March 17, 2019, Loud Luxury performed the song along with the Western University Marching Band as part of the Juno Awards opening.
