It served as the soundtrack to the independent film of the same name that Miller’s father Master P had produced and directed.

The song would later be renamed as a promotional single. Miller’s I Am No Limit mixtape, which was originally intended to be his fourth studio album but was instead released as a mixtape for his fans on August 19, 2011, was originally scheduled to be released on August 18.
In 2012, Miller started a new band named Resq3 with guitarist/vocalist Myles Eberhardt and drummer Christian Brock. They recorded their first single, “The Only One,” and had plans to tour and record a TV show later that year. However, the group disbanded for reasons that are still unclear.

Miller planned to retail the mixtape on iTunes on January 13 in order to raise money for charity.
On November 1, 2016, Miller released two singles from his anticipated fourth studio album. The songs are “B, All, In” with Young Vee and Ace B from No Limit Forever, and “Shoulder” with DeCarlo.
