Regarding the first single, "Mr. McAdams,"
Lil Dicky added, "This song is a tongue-in-cheek 'shoot your shot' at even your dream girl kind of jam. It's for all the dreamers out there! Everyone has a dream. Never has a song represented a manifestation to me more than this one, as eventually, I would be on the set of my TV show shooting the music video for it with Rachel McAdams and Brad Pitt. As surreal as life gets. These are my idols. True icons."
