“I wanted to make a fun, club bouncing, 808 driven song for my fans on TikTok,” AXL (fka XCORPIIIO) knew within himself, but wasn’t sure how to begin writing it. Coincidentally, a few days later: “We should make a song for TikTok bro,” DEKU, working an overnight shift, called AXL to say at 4:30 in the morning. AXL was interested, but there still wasn’t enough to inspire him to act. Then, DEKU said something that would finally pique his best friend’s interest. “Imagine there was a dance based on Jimmy Neutron,” he said before delivering the freestyled lyric, “Hit them with that Jimmy, then I skurt bitch. How you tryina smash if you ain’t got no switch?” He couldn’t explain it, but something about the line inspired AXL enough to get him out of bed and into his home studio, ready to flesh this new idea out. After commissioning just the right beat, and getting New York City engineer, Harlem, at the helm of mixing and mastering, they knew they had made another banger. After the release of their 2019 collaboration on the retro funk single, ‘Passion FM.’, this marks the return of the boys as an official duo.
