Background "Realest" marks Ez Mil's major-label debut single and his first collaboration with Eminem. He was signed by Eminem and Dr. Dre to Shady, Aftermath, and Interscope in July 2023, making him the first artist to get signed to all three labels since Stat Quo.

According to Miller, he had already made the beat, the first verse, and the hook before knowing that he would be meeting Eminem and Dr. Dre. When he showed it to them, they were impressed, and Eminem offered to be on the song.

Composition Trent Fitzgerald of XXL wrote that the song featured "a fist-thumping lunchroom table beat" and a "popping snare", with the two artists rapping using a variety of flows.

Eminem's verse contains several disses toward musicians who have spoken negatively about him in the past, including Melle Mel of Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five and the Game, while also taking jabs at Generation Z. The Game had previously dissed Eminem on the song "The Black Slim Shady" from his 2022 album, Drillmatic – Heart vs. Mind. Melle Mel responded to Eminem with a short diss track on August 8, 2023, which was panned by critics online. He later deleted the diss track from his social media and released an apology to Eminem.
