Tecca first gained traction during an early 2018 beef with Toronto rapper "Lb Spiffy" after Lb accused Tecca of stealing his flow on the track "Callin". Tecca continued the momentum by releasing songs on SoundCloud such as "My Time", "Get It Back", "Love Me" and "Count Me Out". In the time since his initial May 2019 rise to fame, from the Lyrical Lemonade, Cole Bennett directed music video hit, "Ransom", Tecca has released his debut mixtape, We Love You Tecca, which peaked at number 4 on the US Billboard 200 and contains hits such as "Did It Again", "Out of Luck" and "Shots" peaking at 64, 80, and 84, on the US Billboard Hot 100. On August 27th 2021 Tecca released his highly anticipated album "We Love You Tecca 2", which peaked at number 4 on the billboard top 100.

The opening line in "Selection" is by DJ Scheme, who announces Lil Tecca's presence on the track. Lil Tecca then goes on to talk about striving for perfection and the complexities that come with it, referring to it as a curse. He acknowledges that it is a difficult task, but it is one that he accepts and will use as a lesson to improve.
Moving on to the chorus, Lil Tecca expresses his preference for a relationship with his "shawty" that is based on friendship. He wants his partner to be his best friend and someone with whom he can share everything. The line "Shake it, shake it, yeah, go best friend" can be seen as a reference to women dancing together as well as Lil Tecca's support for his partner.
In the second verse, Lil Tecca talks about his expectations for love and trust. He wants his partner to work for his love and trust, and warns them not to get too comfortable in the relationship. He is also aware of his own value and believes that his partner needs to understand that they cannot take advantage of him. The song ends with Lil Tecca reaffirming his desire for his partner to be his best friend, someone who can count money with him and ride the wave of success together.
