The Following information is from Allday talking to The Music about each track on Startup Cult.
Got It
"Got It is one of my favourite tracks from the album. As soon as I heard the beat I knew it was a first track; it just has that emotional, night time feeling to it. As soon as I got it I literally sat down and started writing, hence the first line, “I'm writing this whole thing tonight.” We actually had this long ending where I was singing but we changed it up at the last minute in favour of the part where I say, “Fucking my old girls like it's going to make you me, but it's more than that.” I'm so glad we made that change because that's one of my favourite lines on the album."
Fuckin'
"Fuckin' was the first track I made for the album. We did it and then kind of went, “Wow, this is what the album should sound like.” When Jord Levus (who produced the song) sent me through the original loop, it had the moaning sound effects in it of somebody having sex, so I decided to make the whole song about sex, but mainly in a metaphorical way. Although the song was finished ages ago, as I got better at rapping I realised I could do better takes. So verse one was recorded about a year earlier than verses two and three."
