"Boom Boom" was written by British recording artist Jay Sean, and produced by Jeremy Skaller and Robert Larow under their stage name Orange Factory Music. It was released digitally on 2 July 2012, and physically on 6 July 2012. On 1 October 2012, it was announced that Justice Crew signed to American rapper Pitbull's record label Mr. 305 Inc., a joint venture with RCA Records, to release "Boom Boom" in the United States. "Boom Boom" was originally recorded by Pitbull for his own album. However, he turned it down and the song was eventually given to Justice Crew. Pitbull heard "Boom Boom" during his visit to Australia for his Planet Pit World Tour in August 2012 and recognised the song. He then visited the Sony Music Australia headquarters and watched the music video for "Boom Boom", and he and his management were impressed with Justice Crew's dancing skills. They invited Justice Crew to perform the song at his concert in sydney.
