The song is not an official release from either artist; rather, it is a popular fan-made mashup or remix that has circulated on the internet for over a decade.

– Eminem has never sung “If I die young,” but in songs like When I’m Gone or Mockingbird , he contemplates mortality. Lil Wayne, on How to Love or I’m Single , touches on fragile life themes. Memory can merge these fragments into a fictional collaboration.

: The verses are typically taken from existing songs by the featured artists. For example, Eminem's verse is often sourced from his 2004 track "When I'm Gone" or other emotional songs like "Love The Way You Lie" , while Lil Wayne's verse is frequently taken from his 2011 song "Good Good" (which also features Gudda Gudda).
