Background

According to Project Pat, the song was inspired by him teasing a girl, who had slicked back hair with some gel and in a small bun, by poking his face in the back of her head and imitating a chicken.[1][2] In an interview with Complex, Juicy J recalled some details of collaborating with Project Pat on the song:

I remember Project Pat came to me and he said man, I got this song called "Chickenheads," I was like, "How it go?" He was like, "Bok bok! Chicken chicken." I'm like, "What??" At first I was like, "What the hell?" You know what I'm saying? "Bok Bok"—what you just say man? He said, "Man, it's gonna be hot, it's gonna work." So I said, "Aite, cool." We recorded the song, me and Paul did the beat, and shit, the record company heard it and was like, man, this song is a SMASH. And the song blew up, man. We had a director, you know, I can't remember who directed that, I think it was Gil Green maybe. But whoever did it did a great job. We usually counted on the director to direct the videos and bring up the concepts and all that.[3]

The song is considered to have led to La Chat gaining national attention due to her verse with Project Pat.[4]

Composition

The lyrics of the song serve as a warning to opportunistic women. The background features vocals in the form of clucking sounds.[5]
