Madsonik (Brian Tyler), who composed the score for the film, was asked to create a song for the film's credits. At first he invited Kill the Noise for an electronic track, and the result had what Madsonik described as "this groove going, and it sounded more like a hip-hop song". Thus they decided to invite some of their favorite rappers, and attracted Juicy J, Wiz Khalifa, and Ty Dolla $ign given they liked the track and were fans of the Ninja Turtles.[2]

A music video for the song was released on July 29, 2014; as of May 2023, it has over 195 million views.[3]
