==Background and release==
While talking about how the song came together in an interview with [[Genius (website)|Genius]], GoldLink said;
<blockquote>"It was the most natural song I ever did, because I met Brent, and I was with Brent in LA when we did it together. That was the first time I actually met Brent. We were just vibing, and it kind of worked the way it was. He freestyled his, and I freestyled mine. But I guess the only thing I had in my head, “Where I’m from.” The subject matter came from thinking about all the people that helped me get to where I was. To get to the position I was to even be able to get to LA and be in the studio at Pulse, to be with Brent."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dz52v0Q7YgE|title=GoldLink "Crew" Official Lyrics & Meaning - Verified|website=[[YouTube]] |date=June 16, 2017|accessdate=June 17, 2017}}</ref></blockquote>
