On Wednesday, April 16, 2025, @XXL posted the preview of a Tommy Richman song featuring Sexyy Red. The video clip in which the snippet from their unreleased song appeared was recorded in a small, dark room with a stage built inside.
Richman, dressed in an all-black outfit with a pair of sunglasses and a brown cap worn with its hood at the back, leaned on the stage. Sexyy Red was on the stage with three other women behind her.
The video opened with a short Tommy Richman verse and all four women grooving to it. As soon as Sexyy Red's verse began, they all started to twerk.
