The song samples the 1975 Dorothy Moore version of the track “Misty Blue” from Bob Montgomery. The song stays true for the most part to the original, with the name “Nipsey” replacing “Misty”.
The two artists worked together on many tracks, including “The Life”, “Upside Down”, “Ice Cream Paint Job (West Coast Remix)”, and “Californication”.
