Speaking about the choice of cover, Sampa The Great said, "I covered Kendrick's "DNA", or Kendrick in general, because Kendrick's show was the first big, major support that I got in Sydney, and it was a huge inspiration for me to actually take being an artist seriously."

"I really like DAMN.," Sampa The Great continued. "I think, you know, an artist who's really focused on lyricism and storytelling, sometimes you can get really heavy with your projects. I feel like DAMN. was a lighter version of Kendrick and we got to see him happy and joyous and talking about stuff that we all talk about, which I love."
