The song features Chris Brown and was released as the first official single from his fourth studio album, RevolveЯ, on March 22, 2011.
T-Pain leaked the song himself on Twitter as a response to poor-quality rips of his upcoming music being leaked to the Internet, stating: "Since nobody wants to respect this form of art that you all say we 'love' so much, I'm just gonna go ahead and start leakin the album myself tonight".
