Songfacts®:

  • This is the fourth single from British pop musician Ben Hudson aka Mr. Hudson's second studio album, Straight No Chaser. The track features Hudson's mentor Kanye West.
  • Hudson discussed the song during an interview with Pyro Radio: "Sometimes I take two situations, it might be partly my experiences and then someone else's experience, then I glue them together, there's a little element to fantasy with music. But yeah I know that feeling, I definitely know that feeling, the angriest of the three verses is the first one. 'I'd rather hear you had the whole football team, than have to watch his filthy lips on your skin, anyone but him' jealousy is a strong emotion and when it captures you, it's almost like you become someone else, luckily Kanye brings in a really light hearted verse, I'm completely stush and he's giving it the whole comedy rout. It was funny because when I played him that song originally, he said 'stop stop stop the CD,' I thought 'huh,' he said 'I'm gonna pay you the biggest compliment I can, that's the kind of s--t I write' (laughs)."
