The track was viewed by Noisey as feeling: 'like not much more than a fun cypher' and no particular verse was viewed as a highlight, since it was written that: 'everyone decided to bring their most rappity-rapping bars to the party'.

On Cole's mixtape Friday Night Lights (2010), it was made available as a bonus track. The reason for this delay was because West had been waiting on one of the verses to be recorded. "Looking for Trouble" was released on Novemas part of West's GOOD Fridays program for that year, but the date of its release was actually a Sunday. It was revealed by Cole that his verse was wrote on a ride to Detroit that lasted an hour-and-a-half. When Cole raps his verse, he spins off one of his mentor Jay-Z's most famous lines. Drums from 1980 single "The Big Beat" by Billy Squier are sampled throughout it. The song is heavily composed of multiple elements from Steel Pulse's 1982 track "Blues Dance Raid".
