The song was written by 50 Cent, Dr. Dre, Mike Elizondo, Prodigy, Havoc, Mark Batson, C.Pope, and S.Standard and produced by Dr. Dre and Elizondo. It was originally released as "Outta Control" on the original version of The Massacre. This version was just 50 Cent with no features on the song. However, when the album was set for re-release, the song became earmarked as the album's next single and was remade as "Outta Control Remix". The remix not only features Mobb Deep, but utilizes a different sample. However, no advanced single was released for "Outta Control Remix". This led to confusion among digital consumers who downloaded the original version "Outta Control" causing it to chart concurrently with "Outta Control Remix". (No advanced digital single was ever released for "Outta Control Remix").

Former G-Unit member The Game made a diss track entitled "Mr. Potato Head" aimed at the G-Unit camp over the instrumental. The track appeared on his mixtape "Ghost Unit" which is mostly dissing G-Unit.

"Ayo Technology" is the fourth single from 50 Cent's third album, Curtis. The song, featuring Justin Timberlake and Timbaland, who also produced the song, was a hit on the Billboard Hot 100 and UK Singles Chart, where it charted at #5 and #2 respectively, amongst other national charts across the world. The song has since been covered by Milow, a Belgian singer-songwriter whose version was successful in a number of countries, including Belgium, Germany and The Netherlands and Skyla, a British singer-songwriter whose version is popular in the dance genre.
