Panda" is a trap song.[5] The hook, layered over a Menace beat, was written about Desiigner's affinity for the BMW X6. Explained by Desiigner, lyrically "the panda is the black X6 and the white X6. The black X6 look like a Phantom, the white X6 look like a panda. I’m just putting it in a greater way of how I say and the way I live."[6] Desiigner discovered the song's beat on YouTube, which was produced by up-and-coming producer, Menace.[7][8][9]
