Watts' genesis as a solo performer started to emerge at the beginning of 2002. While touring years earlier with the Wayne Horvitz 4+1 Ensemble, Watts was forced to downsize his effects pedal from a Roland Space Echo tape delay to a Line 6 DL4 delay modeler, a smaller device that makes it easy to travel. He began using the Line 6 in live shows with Maktub, in order to replicate the duplicate harmonies from the recorded material. Then he experimented with improvising entire songs in solo acts with the Line 6, playing initial gigs at small Seattle venues and artist bungalows. Inspired by The State and Wet Hot American Summer, he began infusing spontaneous comedic material with the beat box-driven musical compositions.
Wanting to concentrate on solo comedic performance, Watts moved to the Lower East Side, New York City, in 2004. He shot comedic web shorts for Superdeluxe, Vimeo and CollegeHumor, where his video "What About Blowjobs?" became a viral hit. He also formed a theatrical collaboration with playwright Tommy Smith, and began developing web philosophy/content with online entrepreneur Jakob Lodwick, with whom he recorded the EP Pot Cookies. Moving to Williamsburg, Brooklyn in 2006, Watts started to branch out into performing for television and film, while continuing to pursue live performance and the creation of new performance technologies.

In Reggie Watts's song "So Good Yeah," the lyrics "situation, no hesitations we got tonight, say what you say to me" suggest a carefree and in-the-moment attitude towards life. The singer is urging someone to speak their mind without holding back, emphasizing the importance of being honest and authentic in interactions. The repetition of "say what you say to me" reinforces this idea.
Later in the song, the lyrics "you got everything in your life, 4 or 5 or 6 or 9, baby, I gotta little piece of advice" imply that the person being addressed is successful and has it all, but the singer still has advice to offer. The use of numbers adds a playful and nonsensical touch to the lyrics, further emphasizing the carefree nature of the song.
