Background

The first single of Radioactive was supposed to be "Gangsta of Love" which featured outro vocals by Cyhi Da Prynce and production from Jim Jonsin, but was not officially released by Yelawolf because it was leaked. On July 7, Yelawolf announced that the song would not make the final cut on the album.

The song was recorded at Patchwark Studios in Atlanta, Georgia, with Kawan "KP" Prather and Yelawolf's manager Jeremy "J Dot" Jones, while production was handled by Orlando, Florida based production team Tha Hydrox which consists of Mike Jaxx, Lex "Ace" Cartanya and Tre Holla, while the chorus features vocals by rapper Lil Jon.[1]

The music video for the song was directed by Motion Family, and filmed in Atlanta, Georgia at 1260 Custer Avenue during August 26. On September 20 it was released through VEVO.[2] Fellow rappers Rittz and Shawty Fatt make cameo appearances in the music video.

The official remix features T.I. and fellow Shady Records label mates Slaughterhouse.[3]
