Background[]

It samples P. Diddy's line "Now the Sun don't shine for ever, but as long as it's here then we might as well shine together" from his 1997 song "Victory" featuring The Notorious B.I.G. and Busta Rhymes from his debut album No Way Out (1997), released under the stage name Puff Daddy.

A female-themed equivalent of the song was released by Dani and Phaedra, titled "I'm That Girl".

Tyga recorded a part three from the song on his 2018 album Kyoto.

Diddy’s later collaboration with Ozuna and DJ Snake, "Eres Top" (from Ozuna’s Nibiru album), samples the main instrumental hook from "I Need A Girl (Part Two)".
