Before the song took off, Tiller was working two jobs at and UPS in Louisville, Kentucky, to support his young daughter while occasionally sleeping in his car. In 2014, he bought recording equipment on eBay and set it up in his living room. He recorded "Don't" early one morning before his daughter woke up—a session cut short by computer static that prevented him from making the song any longer. A Near-Miss with Deletion

Interestingly, Tiller almost deleted the track. After playing it for a small circle of friends who gave unenthusiastic, lukewarm responses, he doubted the song's quality and took it offline. It only returned to SoundCloud because a friend called to tell him that girls on campus were obsessed with it, urging him to re-upload it. The Inspiration Bryson Tiller - Don't (Explicit Version)
