Songfacts®:

  • This classic '90s-style R&B song finds Johnny Gill re-uniting with his former New Edition bandmates. "Well we haven't recorded since 2004 but I'll tell you it was fun," he told You Know I Got Soul.

    "Sitting in there and doing that and recording, we kinda got the bug and started talking about setting dates and times to get in here and do a New Edition project," Gill added. "Something great came out of that and it was all due to the fact that everybody came in to support me, something I'm very grateful for. We nailed the song, it's like a straight up New Edition just being grown folks and singing grown folks music and I think we nailed it."
  • Johnny Gill told The Boombox how he ended up reuniting with Ralph Tresvant, Ricky Bell, Michael Bivins and Ronnie DeVoe on this cut. "When I sat down and played them the song, they said 'Man, c'mon man - this is a New Edition joint.' I was sitting there in shock like 'Really?'

    It didn't take long for me to go 'Shoot–okay!' I was fortunate and blessed that they wanted to support me on this. Rick and I did it and [everyone else] did their vocals in New York. I was like 'Wow.'"
