Woods began to rap in 2010 and began to associate with musical groups like Steaktown and in what he says was "just for money" under the name "Sealab Vertical".
In July 2021, Woods revealed on a tweet that his birth certificate shows he was born in 1995, after erroneously believing he was born a year earlier- in 1994. The situation led to Woods getting his first face tattoo, the word "Faith" under his hairline, which provoked him to take his rap career seriously. Woods dropped out of school and soon started working at a Bottom Dollar store, but he quit after four days and was kicked out of his home by his mother.
Woods, Aston and another friend created a rap group, Steaktown, which broke up when Woods was 17. Woods began rapping in 10th grade, calling himself a "regular kid, I didn't really wanna rap", after hearing classmate William Aston freestyle over a remade Chris Brown instrumental. He also began listening to Marilyn Manson, Paramore, Smash Mouth, The Rocket Summer, Simian, My Chemical Romance and The All-American Rejects when he was 13 years old, and has said he is a "big Marilyn Manson fan" and called Mechanical Animals his favorite album. Woods later began listening to Wiz Khalifa and Meek Mill, who influenced his future style. He grew up listening to Mike Jones and Ying Yang Twins Jones' debut album was the first album he purchased. Symere Woods was born July 31, 1995, in North Philadelphia's Francisville neighborhood.
The song would act as the lead single for the subsequent mixtape Lil Uzi Vert vs. Lil Uzi Vert attracted mainstream attention following the release of his debut single " Money Longer" in 2016. Born and raised in Philadelphia, Lil Uzi Vert gained initial recognition following the release of the commercial mixtape Luv Is Rage (2015), which led to a recording contract with Atlantic Records, to whom he signed to under DJ Drama's Generation Now imprint.
