Songfacts®:

  • Sean Paul wrote this song for his mother. He explained to Digital Spy: "She's a very strong force in my life and I wanted to paint a picture with my words for her. It's a very personal song and I wanted her to understand what I was feeling about her. The song came about when I tried to make a birthday card for her, but ended up making a song instead. It felt like the song I should have written first in my career."
