John Cena reflected on his time producing the âYou Canât See Meâ album for WWE during an interview with Buzzfeed, He revealed he recorded 85 tracks in total for the album.
He explains why he chose âMy Time Is Nowâ:
âWe were in production for new theme music for the John Cena rap identity, so we recorded about like 85 songs, and keep in mind their are only like 16 on the âYou Canât See Meâ album and I remember hearing this one beat, and it was that beat for âMy Time Is Nowâ â the build to the crescendo, and the horns, and the brass, and that heavy hit of the bass, like it had everything.
âWe would always use my little brother as kind of our Litmus Test because he was a really harsh critic, and if he enjoyed it, I knew we were OK, and I remembered him just going like this (You Canât See Me gesture), and like, getting lost in it, and I think he was doing what was, I think, the Tony Yayo Dance at the time, where Tony Yayo would do this hand in front of his face and shake his head, and I was like, âDude, what are you doing?â It was ridiculous. And heâs like, âIâm doing the Yayo Dance.
