Songfacts®:

  • Tank told The Boombox he recorded the song his own way rather than concentrating about what's going on in current R&B. He explained: "I wasn't relating it to anything outside of, it would be cool to make a song on this Michael Jackson bass line because it would be kind of classic but a new song."

    "When we were finally doing it, adding the horns and all of these things, and what's working out there, we were like, 'This could be it,' he continued. "It's not the trend now. They're not signing R&B artists now but this could very well be the future. For me, it leads to my strengths. I'm a musician. I'm a real singer, a songwriter with depth and imagination. I'm a real producer and I'm happier doing that. This is what I do well. For me, it was gonna be the song either way."
