While Brian Tyler (who's credited on this song as Madsonik) composed the score for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, he was asked to create a song for the film's credits. At first he invited Jake Stanczak (credited as Kill The Noise) for an electronic track, and the result had what Tyler described as "this groove going, and it sounded more like a Hip-Hop song". Thus they decided to invite some of their favorite rappers, and attracted Juicy J, Wiz Khalifa, and Ty Dolla Sign given they liked the track and were fans of the Ninja Turtles.[2]
