The iconic collaboration was largely spontaneous. While Busta Rhymes was working at Platinum Studios in Midtown Manhattan, he overheard an 808 beat from the next room, where Nelly was recording.

Described as a "Dirty South-inspired" hip hop song, "Look at Me Now" features:

Brown challenged Busta to "go crazy" on the track. Busta returned to his own studio room, wrote his legendary verse in just two hours, and recorded it.

A minimalist, eerie downtempo beat produced by Afrojack and Diplo .

The lyrics primarily focus on self-indulgence, wealth (specifically mentioning a "yellow Lamborghini"), and dismissive attitudes toward "haters". Matt Stell - Look at Me Now (Story Behind the Song)

Heavy 808 bass, "spacy synth" sounds, and a drum beat reminiscent of the "Teach Me How to Dougie" rhythm.
