Production and development
On April 1, 2013, Meghan McCarthy wrote as part of an April Fools' Day joke that this episode would be a musical episode entitled "It Ain't Easy Being Cheesy", guest starring Justin Bieber, and that it would be a two-parter, ending in the sixteenth episode of the fourth season.

On July 20, 2013, an animatic clip of this episode, consisting of the song Apples Forever, was shown at San Diego Comic-Con International. In the clip, Apple Bloom, Applejack, Big McIntosh, Granny Smith, and Pinkie Pie appear.
