"Gone Mia" was produced by TP808 and Nick Seeley and appears as the 12th track on Shiesty Season. The album was a major commercial success, peaking at number three on the Billboard 200 chart and featuring collaborations with artists like 21 Savage, Foogiano, and Gucci Mane. A deluxe version of the project, titled Shiesty Season: Certified, was released in April 2022, adding ten new tracks. The Gold status of "Gone Mia" highlights the continued success and deep-cut appeal of Shiesty's breakout album.
