Background and release
"SMB" marks Odetari's first collaboration with Hongjoong of K-pop group ATEEZ,[1][2] exploring themes of success and superiority over others. Snippets of "SMB" were shared throughout late 2024, alongside snippets for other songs, allowing fans to vote on which track Odetari should release next, later scrapped due to Hongjoong's feature, which was officially confirmed on January 7, 2025,[3] following a mistake with the credits of a song released prior.[4] It was later released on January 15, 2025.[5][6][7] Hoonjoong's first verse was interpreted as a diss towards Hybe Corporation, who manages South Korean boy band BTS.[1][8] The music video premiered on March 9, 2025, and was directed by Esteban Caicedo.[9]
