“Commercial” marks Lil Baby’s and Lil Uzi Vert’s second collaboration. Baby originally announced that he would probably never release this song after he previewed his first verse in late 2019.

The song was however announced to be part of Baby’s sophomore album My Turn before being leaked in its entirety a few days before the release of the album. Uzi’s verse was most likely recorded in the month before the song’s release, given Lil Uzi’s allusion to Kobe Bryant’s passing away in January 2020.
