The song reached one billion streams in late March 2023 on streaming platform Spotify.[4]
Background and composition
editWhile attending a different act's showcase in Hollywood, Loud Luxury noticed Brando, who was part of the opening band.[5] 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.[5] References in the lyrics to riding and dining in "the six" refer to a nickname for Toronto.[6]
Performances
editOn March 17, 2019, Loud Luxury performed this song along with the Western University Marching Band as part of the Juno Awards opening.[7]
