Songfacts®:

  • Chris Brown kicks off this sexually explicit tune by crooning how he can't wait to be alone with his lady in the bedroom. Shortly after the two-minute mark, Breezy switches gears from singing to rapping and gets even more overt as he lists off all the things he and his girl will do to one another under the sheets.
  • The first line of the chorus ("Ayy you, girl, with the tight up skirt") is an interpolation from Jamaican singer Red Rat's 1997 reggae song "Tight Up Skirt."
  • The song was produced by D.A. Doman, who has previously worked with Brown on such tracks as 2015's "Sex (BTP)" and his collaboration with Tyga from the same year, "Bunkin."
  • The UK-based music firm Greensleeves, the publishers of "Tight Up Skirt," filed a lawsuit alleging the interpolation was a copyright infringement. Brown and his label settled out of court with Greensleeves in September 2022.
