Background


The song's creation began in March or April 2012. KeY Wane says that Big Sean flew him out to Los Angeles; they went to the studio and were working on the Detroit mixtape and the album. Big Sean was quoted as saying, "Man I recorded these records on my phone about this really good song that I have an idea for." Then he texted Wane the reference; Wane listened to it and was quoted as saying, "Man this could be a really good song."[3] The word guap has its origins as a slang for money.[4][5]


Theme


Big Sean described the song as "something that strikes an emotional chord in people."[6] He also said, "Everybody is about to go crazy, this is one of those good feelings, man."[3]


Origin


The word "Guap" originated in New York.


Music video
