Songfacts®:

  • This track became Philadelphia singer-songwriter Guordan Banks' first Billboard #1 when it climbed to the top of the Adult R&B Songs chart in its 29th week. Produced by Hit-Boy collaborator K. Roosevelt it is one of 14 cuts from his 2014 mixtape A Song for Everyone.
  • As a songwriter, Banks penned two Top 20 hits on Adult R&B Songs in 2013 for Keyshia Cole ("Trust and Believe") and John Legend ("Who Do We Think We Are?") Banks notched his first break as an artist with a feature on Meek Mill's Dreamchasers 3 track "Heaven or Hell."
  • Banks told Billboard magazine that he believes the reason for the song's success is its message. "It goes back to the foundation of black music: real content and lyrics - but with a modern, youthful twist to it," he said. "The ladies are ready to hear something that doesn't downplay women. They've been missing respect, love; that gentleman's touch. They're ready for a change from just talking about money, sex or drugs."
