Regarding the song, Tech N9ne said, 'This is an energy song. The message of the song revolves around work ethic.
Johnson's verse was inspired from a conversation that he and N9ne had when they were on the set of the comedy-drama series Ballers, about being the 'hardest worker in the room' Johnson told Variety, 'He said something that I really appreciated: basically, 'There could never be enough food in this room or on this set that could make me full because I always want to be hungry.' I just love that.' Tech initially had the idea of Johnson reciting spoken words of motivation to close out the song, but Johnson ended up writing his own lyrics to the song. In 2020, Tech N9ne contacted Dwayne Johnson about the song through private message on Instagram and suggested a collaboration. The song also features uncredited vocals from rapper Krizz Kaliko and was produced by Seven.
It was released on October 8, 2021, as the lead single from Tech N9ne's twenty-third studio album Asin9ne. ' Face Off' is a song by American rapper Tech N9ne featuring fellow American rappers Joey Cool and King Iso and American entertainer Dwayne Johnson.
