He explained to MTV News, 'The first thing that came to mind was 'I want the money, money and the cars/ Cars and the clothes/ The ho's/ I suppose I just wanna be, I just wanna be successful.' When I'm saying all that, conceptually for me, the deepest part of the record was when I say, 'I suppose.' I supposed that's what success is about. After Drake still could not settle on the direction for the track, Songz came up with his hook. Songz said that Drake originally called him on advice of segueing his singing into rapping on interludes, then the terms of what records he would be featured on the mixtape, as he sent him the 'Successful' track. I had this beat sitting here that I love so much, and I didn't know what to do with it.' Writing Дrake then contacted Songz, who had been working with Drake back since 2007 on mixtapes. You need to use that.' He started playing this patch, and just every note that he played fell into place. I remember kind of making the joint, and then he hit this sound, which is the chords that are in there. In an interview with MTV News, Drake explained how the song came about, stating, 'It has this pocket, and there was no melody yet. So it's going to be a big record with no one to go retrieve it.' So we put the verse on there just to give me a little more presence on the record for it to be on my album.' 'I was like, 'That's my homie's song.' Then initially, Drake came up to me with the idea like 'Nah dog. Songz stated in an interview what fan reception to the track mostly had been that he should put a verse in on 'Successful', but Songz told BallerStatus, The song was originally set to be on Drake's debut album, Thank Me Later, but after Drake forwent the song, he insisted that Songz include it on Ready. On Songz's third album, Ready, he included the track, however Drake's verse was moved to the middle and Lil Wayne's rap was taken out in order to include a new verse by Songz. After the success of the two singles, Drake decided to release a retail version of the mixtape in the form of an extended play, including the song.

The song was first released as Drake's follow-up track to ' Best I Ever Had' for his So Far Gone mixtape, with Trey Songz and Lil Wayne received featuring credits.

Two years after its initial release, the track was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for sales exceeding 500,000 copies in the United States alone. Complex named it the 82nd best song of the decade. The song received several accolades, including being ranked seventeen on Rolling Stone's '25 Best Songs of 2009' list, and ranking ten on Spin's 'The 20 Best Songs of 2009' roll.

While reaching seventeen on the Billboard Hot 100, the song peaked at two and three, respectively on the Rap Songs and Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs charts. 'Successful' received critical acclaim from critics, some of which referred to the song as a standout track on Ready.
