That was the farthest thing from our minds when we were making it, but Wiz obviously knew what he was doing. When it came out and became this big anthem for Pittsburgh and the Steelers going to the Super Bowl, we were just in awe. We didn’t really know how significant the colors black and yellow are for someone from Pittsburgh. He started saying “black and yellow” right away when he heard that synth line. When Wiz came to the studio, we gave him another song first - a harder, darker hip-hop record that he loved - and then we played him this track. We’ve always loved hip-hop, but because some of our early stuff was more melodic, we were never given the chance. Part of a documentary released on Wiz’s channel in 2022 recalled the making of the song: I could’ve got the old school orange I could’ve painted it any color. I’m from Pittsburgh, that’s what made me get a black and yellow Challenger. ‘Hit the pedal once, make the floor shake.’ It’s about the car. ‘That’s how I put it down, from my whip to my diamonds.’ ‘Black stripe, yellow paint / Them niggas scared of it, but them hoes ain’t.’ That’s the Chally, when I pull that thing out. He recalled to website HipHopDX the origin of the song:

It being a song about Pittsburgh, I thought it would just be a great introduction. He also explained Billboard magazine he was himself astonished by the song’s success:

The music that we were making is real potent.

They kept throwing me beats and I kept knocking out hooks and verses over them. When we got in the studio, I think the first day in the studio with them I did two songs and a hook.
