In an interview with Rap-Up, Banks explained that Swizz Beatz was not originally on the chorus.[3] At first it was thought that Kanye West had produced the track, but it was later confirmed that it was up and coming producer named Cardiak.[4] A testament to the fast-paced music industry in 2010, Banks said, "The difference from that track being me and Fab and having Kanye was 24 hours."[5]
