Background

The song, originally a collaboration with M.I.A., was titled "Asian Bitches", but was later renamed with CL stating " was too categorized...you can't sing along with 'Asian Bitches', you know?" On the song, CL told Noisys Jakob Dorof "It's not an official single but more of a street single. I wanted to give a little surprise video to excite the fans who have been waiting while I prepare for my solo album. Since I am Korean, it's a good way of presenting me and it's for everyone around the world to see where I am from and to keep it authentic."

Critical reception

's Christina Lee claimed "it's as assertive as CL has ever sounded, with its schoolyard taunts at the hook and barbs rapped in Korean and English about how she rules the world." Jeff Benjamin of Fuse labeled it a "powerful and playful hip-hop banger."

CL performed the song live at the Mnet Asian Music Awards on December 1, 2015.

A music video for the song, directed and choreographed by Parris Goebel, was released on November 21, 2015.
