On an interview with Grammy<ref>"San Holo Gets Personal With New Indie Rock EDM Album 'BB U Ok?'" https://www.grammy.com/news/san-holo-personal-new-album-bb-u-ok-interview</ref>, San Holo stated that Cuomo wrote to him on Twitter to praise one of his songs and that's how they ended up working together.
On an interview with Grammy.com, San Holo stated that he and Cuomo collaborated after a correspondence on Twitter:


<blockquote>"He randomly hit me up on Twitter one day. He was like, “Hey I just heard one of your songs, and I love it.” I was like, “Is this really happening? Rivers Cuomo?!” I was double-checking if it was really his account. He asked me to send him some stuff—the amount of times artists have told me to send them stuff, and then I send them something and nothing happens.

But I made a track in the studio anyway, sent it to him, and I think, literally a week later, he sent back his vocals, and I was like, "Whoa, this is so good!" And then we went back and forth about some words and some more nuanced stuff. And then he recorded the vocals and I had a great take. For me, it's really funny because I used to be a guitar teacher after I graduated from the conservatory. I used to teach kids "[[Say It Ain’t So]]." Now to work with him—it’s so surreal, it's full circle.</blockquote>
