When talking about the good reception from other artists, Jay Park expressed his gratitude and said, "I wanted to be a professional rapper since I was young. �However, the genres I had always listened to were hip hop and R&B. �My whole life is hip hop, but I was frustrated because I was not becoming well known in that area. �I was frustrated because I was only seen through my idol roots and past situations rather than through my true self. �I wanted to show that I was a person who did this kind of music and that I had the skills."

He continued, "Honestly, I was not that good at music at first. �When listening to my past songs, I seemed very lacking. �My skills in hip hop and R&B were lacking, but I think people acknowledged me for my passion and my cool and diligent image."
