The song is a vocal version of the song "Bumaye" by The Flexican and FS Green, from The Flexican's 2011 release Yours Truly: The Mixtape Part II, which itself is a redux of the 2005 song of the same name originally by The Flexican and Typhoon. "Bumaye", as well as "Watch Out for This (Bumaye)", contains a sample of the song "María Lionza" by Willie Colón and Rubén Blades from their 1978 album Siembra and "Carnaval de Arequipa", written by the author Benigno Ballón Farfán from Perú. A remix version of the song features Puerto Rican reggaeton singer Daddy Yankee.
A remix EP was released for free in June 2013, featuring a variety of remixes and cover versions. Later, a remix by Flinch and a VIP remix by Ape Drums and 2Deep were both released for free.
The song was featured in trailers for French film Qu'est-ce qu'on a fait au Bon Dieu?, and was certified platinum in France by the UPFI in 2013.
