It was recorded at Toyz Recording Studios in Baltimore, MD.and produced by Frank Starchak and Tupac. Rick Heyman sampled from the song "If I Was Your Girlfriend" by Prince. The title of the song also resembles a track called Gigolos Get Lonely Too by The Time, composed by Prince. It also originally featured a verse recorded from underground rap artist Tech N9ne as the two had met multiple times and were close friends before his death. When QD3 did the soundtrack to the film "Gangland" Tech recorded his verse, but the final version wasn't released until years later on YouTube.
