Background
The record was originally intended to be released as the album's lead single, with its production and release being tracked by a single episode of the reality television show format 'Monica: The Single' on Peachtree TV. However, as the label and the singer were not in agreement with the album's title track becoming the first single Monica set up additional sessions to find a new single.

In its fourth week, it rebounded from number 89 to number 74.[http://www.billboard.com/charts/2008-09-20/r-b-hip-hop-songs 'Billboard' Hot R&B] The song reached number 65 on 'Billboard' Digital Songs chart.[ Digital Songs] It was sent to radio prior to the release of 'Still Standing', where it received some radio airplay.
