On August 13, ‘Get It Sexyy’ was officially certified gold. To celebrate, Sexyy Red took to Instagram the next day to share an unexpected side of the song’s creation.

Things took a positive turn when she invited her sisters and friends to a studio session back home. With blunts, bottles, and food, the atmosphere changed completely, giving her the boost she needed.
‘I came out wit GET IT SEXYY GET IT SEXYY it really was ah confidence booster for me,’ she continued. ‘We was so turnt all my sadness was gone I love my family period.’
