Chixtape 5 is the first of the series in which it was released as an album on streaming platforms. The album cleared all of the samples and includes the original artist featured on the song. In an interview with Billboard, Tory Lanez said "Everything is 2000s-inspired. Everything is inspired by the times when things were golden for us. I think all those pieces and everything that we've come out with has been all about nostalgia. I'm about to take you on a whole journey musically."
The singer said that the album was heavily inspired by Chris Brown's album Indigo, inspiring him with its edited low-pitched background vocals, its samples from early 2000's R&B, and how double tracks from that album were managed.
