Songfacts®:

  • This is one of two tracks on Shock Value II, (the other one being "The Symphony"), to feature a rapper called Bran'Nu. The name might not be immediately familiar, however Bran'Nu is an MC alter-ego of the veteran R&B singer Brandy. She explained to MTV News: "What I'm doing on the album is a little bit different than what everybody knows me for. I'm rapping on the album. Timbaland endorsed that. He changed my name to Bran' Nu. He really gave me a shot to be different and be versatile. I can't thank him enough for that. This is a wonderful opportunity. I'm blessed to be here."
    Timbaland added: "She can rap. She's got the swagger, the tone - ain't nothing I can say about it."
