The single "Icy Grl" began when Saweetie was listening to old school beats with female rappers and she knew this was the sound she wanted.The lyrics of the song transpired some her not feeling fulfilled with her career, so she wrote about things that would influence her. Saweetie is not all long hair, fresh nails, mansions, and luxury cars, she is a USC graduate with a degree in Communications & Business.
