The song premiered on Saturday Night Live on October 5, 2024,[1] their first digital short since 2018's Natalie's Rap 2.0.[2] The song, performed by Andy Samberg and Akiva Schaffer, portrays two businessmen attempting to pitch a sushi delivery service that utilizes glory holes.[1] The song was released on streaming platforms on October 7, 2024.[3]

During the 2024 United States presidential election season, Samberg returned to Saturday Night Live to portray Doug Emhoff opposite Maya Rudolph's Kamala Harris.[4] Schaffer and Samberg had previously written the song during the 2023 Writers Guild of America strike, and viewed Samberg's return as the perfect opportunity to create the short.[5] The song was produced by DJ Nu-Mark, a frequent collaborator of the trio.[6]

The music video stars Schaffer (also director) and Samberg as two businessmen struggling to pitch a glory hole based sushi delivery app to a group of skeptical investors (Maya Rudolph, Bowen Yang, and Kenan Thompson).[7] The video also features cast members James Austin Johnson, Andrew Dismukes, Chloe Fineman, Devon Walker, and Mikey Day as users of the app.[8]
