“SpottieOttieDopaliscious” is a soulful, funky horn-filled jam inspired by Reggae vibes and Good Times. André gave some background on the track:

The song started with a sample I’d chopped up. I was vibing on reggae stuff at the time, listening to a lot of Bob Marley.

Iceberg Slim used to put out albums talking on beats and I was like, ‘This is cool.’ I think I laid down my verse first and Big just came in. But instead of spoken word, Big likes to call it ‘smokin’ word.‘ That was his smokin’ word.

André also revealed that another artist was potentially going to be on this song:

We were riding in the car and Erykah [Badu] was originally supposed to be on ‘SpottieOttie’ and somehow it ended up working out where she fit better on [‘LIberation’]. So she went off and wrote her thing and ended up coming back with something cool.

“Happy Birthday to You” began as a simple melody for kindergarten children, and has become one of the most recognizable English-language songs in the world. It was first published no later than 1912; by 1935 it had become the standard birthday song in the United States. But, where did it come from?

In the 1880s, an American schoolteacher named Patty Hill (1868–1946) was the principal of the Louisville Free Kindergarten Association, a progressive and innovative school system in the US city of Louisville, Kentucky. Her younger sister, Mildred Jane Hill (1859–1916), was a musicologist. Together, they created a song that a kindergarten teacher could sing with her young students to begin each school day:

Good morning to you
Good morning to you
Good morning, dear children
Good morning to all

The sisters published their song in 1893. Then, sometime in the 1900s or 1910s, someone changed the lyrics to make the song a birthday wish rather than a morning greeting. Under the title “Happy Birthday to You”, this revised version appeared in Beginners Book of Songs with Instructions, a songbook published in 1912.

In addition to its recitations at birthday parties around the world, “Happy Birthday to You” has been performed in countless films, plays, radio and television programs, and advertisements. Its simple melody has been programmed into toys, music boxes, and musical greeting cards. Yet despite its absorption into the cultural commons, “Happy Birthday to You” was not fully cleared of copyright claims until 2017—more than a hundred years after its publication.

Also released on Main Attrakionz mixtape under the title “Take 1”

I felt like ‘Kissin' Pink’ was necessary. ‘Kissin' Pink’ was natural. ‘Kissin' Pink’ was a real classic. It just introduced the world to Ferg, and it introduced them to our other styles that we got. That’s why I love ‘Kissin' Pink’ so much. It’s a lot of that on his mixtape.
