Songfacts®:

  • This up-tempo song was produced by Josh Abraham and Oliver "Oligee" Goldstein (Carly Rae Jepsen's "Turn Me Up" and Britney Spears's "Up & Down") . It was penned by Ali Tamposi (Kelly Clarkson's "What Doesn't Kill You (Stronger)" and Beyoncé's "Save the Hero") and Livvi Franc (Rihanna's "What Now" and Christina Aguilera's "Red Hot Kinda Love"). Franc's own single, "Now I'm That Bitch" also topped the US Billboard Hot Dance Club Songs chart and was a top 40 hit in New Zealand and the UK. "These girls are just so talented," Ciara told The Boombox of the two female songwriters. "They've had success beyond me, however, when we got together, I feel we formed something special. The vibe is so crazy."
