Background

In an interview with HotNewHipHop in May 2014, Logic said "I've known Sean for like two years now. 'We both work with No I.D., so we're kind of in that circle. We both work out of the same studio. He's a good dude, I'm a good dude, and we just vibed out." With respect to their collaboration on "Alright", Logic stated "It's funny, because I wanted him to get on another song. He was in the studio doing some photoshoot, but he was on the other side of the wall, and he heard the beat and ran in, and was like 'What the fuck is this? I gotta get on this!'"^[1]
