Background
The song came into fruition when Slix had the idea of using Mario Balotelli's iconic phrase "Why Always Me?" as a chorus in a song to make a "Mario Balotelli anthem".
Tinchy Stryder said in an interview with The Sun: "Mario Balotelli is a real cool guy and he likes his music, too. "Mario’s the type of character that the Premier League hasn't really had. He’s got a good heart and does a lot of good things. I can sympathize to his "Why Always Me?" situation, he is always in the news media for various reasons."
Music video
