Will.i.am told London-based Capital FM that the recording sessions came about during the BRIT Awards in February. "So actually we went shopping first, and we were like, 'Hey, let's just have a chilled day,' and we went shopping for shoes; then after that we went to the studio, watched the BRITs, recorded that and then trucked off to see Justin Timberlake perform. So that was a pretty full day," he says in a clip posted online.
The track is lifted from Will.i.am’s next album #willpower, due April 23.
