The track's title, "Philly Nice", is a term used to describe Philadelphians' perceived bluntness.
The song's name comes from the fact that Week 3's location is set near Philadelphia, with "Philly" being a colloquial name for the city.
Prior to the WeekEnd 1 update, Philly Nice used a shortened version of its title, being the only track in Friday Night Funkin' to do so, as it was referred to as "Philly" in the game's menu.
The reason behind its shortened name is because ninjamuffin99 was too lazy to code spaces in the game's lettering system.[1]
ninjamuffin99 jokingly stated that Philly Nice was originally supposed to be named "Long Time (Intro)",[2] referencing the track of the same name from Playboi Carti's debut studio album Die Lit.
One of the opening lines in the game's introduction sequence, "pico funny--pico funny", references a misheard lyric from Boyfriend's first verse in Philly Nice.
In the vocal track for Boyfriend, the track's instrumental can be very faintly heard whenever he sings, the most audible instance of this being on his first turn.
The Philly Nice ERECT remix is tied with the Thorns ERECT remix for mantaining the BPM of their regular versions.
