Background The song is one of two singles released on 5 December as part of the weekly Sidemen Sunday videos in which two teams are selected to either be on the "good team" with a budget of $100,000 or the "bad team", which has a budget of $100. KSI, TBJZL, Vikkstar123 and Jme were selected for the good team while Miniminter, Behzinga, Zerkaa, W2S and Randolph were selected for the bad team. The good team wrote and recorded a Christmas tune titled "Christmas Drillings" with references to the roadman style of living during the festive season using a drill type beat produced by Nyge. The bad team wrote and recorded a Christmas tune titled "This or That" in which they make references to Santa Claus breaking and entering while delivering presents.
