The creation of this song began with the hook. It was also the first tune Durk worked on with producer Paris Bueller. Durk told Complex:
I used to know Paris Bueller back then when I first made ‘Sneak Dissin.’ I used to record a third of the songs at his house. They moved and that was that. I forgot about him completely. Then when I had gotten with a guy named Focus. He had told me, ‘Bueller said what’s up.’ I’m like, ‘Who’s Bueller?’
He’s like, man, he used to quarrel with him on Emerald [Street]. So I went over there, it clicked in my head a little bit, like he looks familiar. He was making beats. I asked him to make something from scratch. He made ‘L’s Anthem.’ That’s the first song I made with him. I’m like, “Brother, this is a hit right here.” We made a chorus, chopped the chorus up and went from there.
