A faixa “Swimming Pools (Drank)” foi escrita em parceria entre Kendrick Lamar e o produtor Tyler “T‑Minus” Williams, que também cuidou da produção.
O mix final contou com o toque de Dr. Dre e do engenheiro Derek “MixedbyAli” da Top Dawg, contribuindo para o impulso que a música trouxe à carreira de Lamar.
No mercado americano, a canção chegou ao pico de 17º lugar no Billboard Hot 100, depois de subir gradualmente a partir de sua estreia no 100º lugar, enquanto no Reino Unido marcou sua primeira entrada na lista oficial, debutando na posição 63.
Em 2012, um videoclipe acompanhado da música foi lançado e, em 2014, o som apareceu na estação de rádio “Radio Los Santos” da re‑lança de Grand Theft Auto V, além de ter sido exibido na série Grey’s Anatomy (série 10).
A performance ao vivo no episódio de 26 de janeiro de 2013 do Saturday Night Live foi acompanhada pelo lançamento de “Poetic Justice”, reforçando a visibilidade da faixa nas mídias.
O vídeo foi indicado ao MTV Video Music Awards de 2013 nos ramos “Best Male Video” e “Best Hip‑Hop Video”, e a canção recebeu indicação ao “Best Rap Performance” na 56ª edição dos Grammy Awards.
