This single is a collaboration with Californian folk singer Jessica Pratt. In an interview with Apple Music 1, the rapper spoke about the collaboration with Pratt and five-time Grammy Award winner Jon Batiste, who contributes background vocals to «Highjack». «I love different sounds. Jessica Pratt gave me a little bit of that Portishead meets Stevie Nicks vibe», – says A$AP Rocky.
