Cuomo told ''Uproxx'' in a 2023 interview, "I have this folder of ideas, and it has 1500 MP3s in there. And usually once I use an idea, I take the idea out of the folder so I won’t reuse it. Now, in this case, years ago I used it in a song called “Prom Night,” and then I forgot to take the idea out."<ref>Droke, Carolyn.
