Songfacts®:

  • This hook-up anthem finds American Hip-Hop artist DJ Drama and his producer V12 the Hitman collaborating with Roc Nation rapper J. Cole and frequent guest Chris Brown. As is so often the case, we hear Breezy bragging of his sexual prowess.
  • Drama explained to MTV News how he and V12 the Hitman came up with the song: "We were searching for tracks for Chris," he said. "We got something, Chris went in. I thought about it for a minute: Who hasn't he worked with, who hasn't he been on a record with?"

    They came up with J. Cole, although the pair had previously appeared together on the remix of British rapper Chipmunk's UK hit "Champion." However, this marked the first time Brown and Cole were the co-featured artists on a cut.
