Smack quotes:

“We realized that even though it was great the hashtags were trending, we thought that the discourse out there was missing something important. It seemed hard for people to talk about how these struggles and movements overlap and intertwine– nobody seemed ready to talk about the real tensions that exist between Black and Asian communities. As artists from these communities, and as friends, we think it’s really important to talk about this– it’s a real step towards solidarity. We wanted to do it in an uplifting and joyful way. We took that as our personal challenge, to make a song with a message that mattered, but to make it an uplifting bop. We wanted to get people to stand together and dance together. That’s BXG.”
