Nasty C said the song was created when he was reflecting.

“I was in a very clear space when I made ‘Big Timing’,” he said. “I wanted something that felt celebratory, but not empty. It is confidence, but it is also gratitude. It is me looking around and realizing the people I started with are still here, and we are not just surviving anymore, we are moving properly now.”
