Background

[edit]

“I Don’t Wanna Do This Anymore” was among XXXTentacion’s early releases on SoundCloud and became one of his most notable tracks prior to his mainstream breakthrough. In his 2017 XXL Freshman profile interview, he described the song as one of his biggest at the time.[9] The track also drew the attention of New York–based manager Solomon Sobande, who told Billboard that while “Look at Me!” was beginning to gain momentum online, it was this song that ultimately persuaded him to contact and later manage the artist, helping him secure a distribution deal with Empire.[10] The producer of the song, Khaed, passed away in 2019.[11]
