Production
Toxicity said of the song in an interview that 'YSB' stands for 'You're So Beautiful' and later stated that it only took around an hour to come up with the lyrics. The track itself was composed in two days with the vocals recorded over the course of two hours. Toxicity has also stated directly that the song was inspired by Jai Paul's Jasmine (2012).
