As “Poland” continues to take over social media and rise on music charts, Lil Yachty has now revealed the unexpected inspiration for his viral hit track. The young rapper recently appeared in YouTube channel ZIAS!’s reaction video for his Cole Bennett-directed “Poland” music video to share what really is behind the infectious hook.

Around the 4:30 mark Lil Yachty said, “I’ma tell y’all the truth. I was in the studio, right, working on my new album…I was actually just trolling. My mans was just drinking a Poland Springs water bottle.” Going on to say, “Yeah, I mean obviously I had some wock, but he had a Poland Springs water bottle.” Also revealed that the song expected to appear on his next album is not finished yet, but he decided to release it as is to build on the viral moment.

“It leaked, and that’s why I was like, technically it’s not finished. It’s just a verse,” sharing that he does not believe in “holding out” once a track leaks on the Internet. Also, Yachty noted that he never took the wock to Poland, adding, “but now I got to.”
