Background

[edit]

This track is the lead song of the conceptual EP 99.9 Psychic Radio, produced by JP the Wavy for Psychic Fever.[1]The EP title is based on the concept of a fictional radio station called "Psychic Radio" broadcasting at 99.9 MHz. It reflects the desire to send the group's music out to the world, drawing inspiration from how hip-hop spread globally through mixtapes and radio.[1] In production, beatmaker JIGG provided the beats, while JP the Wavy guided the direction of the songs. Upon the release, Psychic Fever members said, "Even before we entered the production period, JP the Wavy kindly worked with us during the recording sessions and helped bring out our 'artistic character' and 'musicality,' giving rise to a new potential in Psychic Fever like never before."[2]

JP the Wavy commented on the EP, saying, "I expressed what I felt Psychic Fever is like, and also created it with the image of 'this is the kind of Psychic Fever I want to see' in mind," indicating that he aimed to showcase a new side of the group.[5]
