Writing and development

In an interview with Billboard,[9] Chris Brown shared the story behind the song, saying:

It was written during quarantine, primarily over voice memos and Zoom calls back and forth. There just became a significant energy around the song really quickly. It felt like we had all been in quarantine and we're pent-up, on a roller coaster of emotions. It's like, the news is on and we're up and down with good news, bad news, fear and anxiety. So, yes, this song just came out as a release of emotion and a call to arms. I just wanted to say like, 'Hey, it's gonna be okay.' My faith in God says there's a better day ahead. All of us are kind of burying different expectations right now. We're having funerals and…not being able to walk across the graduation stage or not getting to go to prom and then more serious issues that people are dealing with. So "Rattle!" is a giant release and response to everything that we've experienced. We felt like it just had to open the album.
