Songfacts®:

  • This song features The-Dream and Jamie Foxx. Plies explained to MTV News why he decided to collaborate with the two guest artists: "To come behind a #1 record and have a person who's currently relevant in Dream, one of the better songwriters to come through this industry, and then do the Jamie Foxx thing, the boss of all bosses - I wanted to try something differently than I did on my last album."
  • Plies told MTV News that this tune describes the scenario when lust takes over men's minds. He explained: "I think at some point in time, we always see that person from afar or in a club or in an elevator that allows us to look at them, and in our mind, we already lived that [sexual] situation out."
