"It’s a real trippy vibe to it and it’s supposed to be an epic introduction to get you ready to listen to everything. It sums up the message of this project [Best Day Ever]. No matter what, just trying to capture a happy and positive vibe to a situation."
It was recorded on two different instrumentals, both of which were produced by ID Labs, that started and ended the mixtape Best Day Ever.
Mac’s collaborator Big Jerm provided background information about the track:
"I had that sample for so long. It’s an Earth, Wind & Fire sample. I had it chopped up for years. I might’ve sampled it in 2005, or something. I was messing with it in the studio that day and [Mac] heard it. I put the drums on it and then E. played live bass on it, and that was really all [laughs]. Drums, the sample, and bass."
The music video shows contrast between when Mac Miller was a really young kid and to now. The music video shows that he enjoyed to perform from a very young age. He sung the classic hit, “Rapper’s Delight” by the Sugarhill Gang.
A second version of the song, called “BDE Bonus”, was used in the music video instead of the original.
Best Day Ever
Mac Miller Lyrics

Work around the clock, my engineer gettin' paid off
Rock like Aesop, light the weed and take off
So high I cannot see, Adolf
Now I got these rappers all breakin' up a sweat
'Cause every time I get up on the mic, it come correct
And I learned it from the best, always dressed in somethin' fresh
Lookin' for a little dime, big butt and nice chest
But now I'm rockin' clothes that ain't in the stores yet
Travel back in time, I'm in a vortex
Tryna make it work out, think I need more reps
Used to take a bus, now the boy board jets
'Cause K.I.D.S. got me buzzin' like a fuckin' hornet
They say I got next, tell them that I got now
It's all Disney boy, my family Proud
Make 'em say, "Ow", make 'em say, "Oh"
The hoes that tell me, "Yes", the same ones that tell you, "No"
Woah, I ain't just an Average Joe, way above the average flow
Boy, my life is Most Dope, uh
No matter where life takes me, find me with a smile
Pursuit to be happy, only laughing like a child
I never thought life would be this sweet
It got me cheesin' from cheek to cheek, aye, aye
And I ain't gonna wait for nothing
'Cause that just ain't my style
Life couldn't get better
This 'gon be the best day ever
If it ain't about a dream, then it ain't about me
Go a couple full weeks without a good night's sleep
Imagination, makin', musical creation
The journey that I'm facin' plus the paper that I'm chasin'
Got me crazy, half insane and with the lames I see you hatin'
But there's nothing' that you're changin', thumbs up, I'm maintainin'
No complainin' when it's rainin', I'll be in another zone
Move out my mother's home to a world I call my own
I ain't gonna play around no more
Found a difference from the ground and the floor
If we got a fight, I'll be down for the war
Thumbs up, homie I'll be sure
No matter where life takes me, find me with a smile
Pursuit to be happy, only laughing like a child
I never thought life would be this sweet
It got me cheesin' from cheek to cheek, aye, aye
And I ain't gonna wait for nothing
'Cause that just ain't my style
Life couldn't get better
This 'gon be the best day ever
