Songfacts®:

  • Best known for his R&B crooning, this Timbaland produced song finds Ginuwine rapping some braggadocio rhymes about his success. "Yeah, you know, you gotta brag and boast a little bit [laughs]," he told Billboard magazine. "At the time, there were a lot of people starting to follow Tim and a lot of artists starting to follow me."

    "Since Bobby Brown, I was the first one to be in my video taking my shirt off and showing the 6-pack and 8-pack," he continued. "Other people weren't cut like that. And the dancing, too. There was nobody dancing like me at that time. So I was in the studio and the juices were flowing and I was like "Ayy, man. I wanna talk some s--t." That's just what I was feeling at the time."
