In a 2011 interview with A.V. Club, Violent J said:

That was on the Shangri-La record. We had a new producer for that record. His name was Mike Puwal. He brought a new sound, and when we first heard the track for that song, it was devastating. We loved it. It was kind of poppy, but we figured if we put some cool lyrics to it, it would take that edge away. We’ve never been afraid of pop. I like to consider our shit Wicked Pop. I actually like pop music. Juggalos, when they hear that, they can’t believe it, but I like Beyoncé and shit. I like that shit a lot. It’s evident by a lot of our music, because a lot of our music can only be described as pop, besides the cussing and the crazy lyrics and the crazy topics. But the sound is definitely pop-inspired.

That was another case of a song talking about how important homies are. At the time we were talking about, just because they’re not blood doesn’t mean they’re not important. Because a lot of family members for a lot of people are there because they have to be, because they’re your blood. But homies are there because they want to be. They’re there because they genuinely like the person you are. I think about the holidays when I see relatives that I haven’t seen since last Christmas, I haven’t talked to them since last Christmas. Then you take such a special day like Christmas, and you’re spending it with these people that you haven’t seen since last Christmas. You both know each other’s numbers. Why didn’t you ever call them? It’s almost like you’re going through the motions because you have to, because they’re family, because they’re blood. But you look at friends, those are the people you choose to be around every day. I think that says something. We wanted to say in the song because Juggalos are our family, and Juggalo homies are there for you. Especially when you’re younger, going through shit, you’ve gotta lie to your family, and you don’t have to lie to your friends. […]

Not that they should be more important than family. I definitely understand what family is about, but that’s what the song meant. That homies are important too, you know what I mean? Homies are definitely there because they like you, and they want to be there for you, and that’s all they’re getting out of it. Everybody’s got an aunt or an uncle that they don’t really care for, but they have to see every Christmas or Thanksgiving, and a lot of the time they don’t do nothing but nag, and say, “I wish we were younger,” or, “When you gonna get a job?” or, “When you gonna do this or that?” It just says that homies are important in your life too, and that’s what the song’s about, Juggalo homies. […]

If you listen to the song it talks about when you got your first “neden,” which means when you had sex the first time, the chances are your friends were in the other room. Chances are you were at a party, or you and your boys were with a bunch of girls, and you took her upstairs, and you got laid for the first time. Your homies are in the other room, you know what I’m saying? [Laughs.] When really big things are happening in your life, your homies are right there. When you got that tattoo, or all that stuff. Big things. You accidentally threw up in your boy’s car because you’re all out drinking, and you feel worse about it than he does. Those are the kind of lyrics that we talked about. Those are important things in your life, time spent with homies.
