The song was released as the fifth (fourth in the United Kingdom and Ireland) and final single from the album on January 3, 2005.

Although Usher "didn't look too far" when starting working on his fourth studio album Confessions and decided to "continue building" with previous producers, he branched out with several musical collaborators.

[5][6][7] The Germany release contains the album version of the song, three of its remixes and the single's music video.

[8] Jon Caramanica of Blender magazine referred to the song like a "Southern marching band performing late-'80s R&B".

[9] Sal Cinquemani of Slant Magazine complimented Dre and Vidal for producing an old-sounding music without sampling records, calling it "super-tight" alongside "Follow Me", another song from the album.

[10] Andy Kellman of Allmusic complimented the song as one of Usher's best moments in the album, together with "Burn".

[11] Kelefa Sanneh of The New York Times called it a "thunderous song" from the album, adding that it gave Usher "a chance to do two of the things he does best: strut and pander".
