Songfacts®:

  • Did you think this is about the first time Roscoe had sex? Well, according to the rapper the song goes deeper than that. He explained to The Boombox: "When I was making the song, all I could think about was when I was growing up, I used to listen to Ludacris and all the big artists, OutKast. Me being from Atlanta, [I listened to ] T.I., Lil Jon. I was really one-dimensional when it came to music. Then my mom introduced me to Brian McKnight, Gerald Levert, Luther Vandross, Marvin Gaye. She always said, 'No woman wants a man who can't listen to this kinda stuff, 'cause if you can't listen to it, it means you don't have any rhythm.' I flashed back to that when I made this record because you would think it's your very first time."
