It was posted on Atlantic's SoundCloud page and released as the debut single on May 29, 2011. It was later included as a bonus track on the deluxe version of his debut album Unexpected Arrival (2012). Lyrically, it is a hip hop song about being true to one's self and telling off people trying to "copy and paste" them.
"Copy, Paste" peaked at numbers 21 and 24 on the US Hot Rap Songs and US Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs charts respectively. A music video, directed by Phil the God, was created for the single that features Diggy tied up as a laboratory experiment for scientists to clone.
