It was released as the second single from Rhymes' debut studio album The Coming on June 4, 1996, by Flipmode Entertainment and Elektra Records.

The song was written by Rhymes and Zhané member Rene Neufville, and produced by Easy Mo Bee.

The song was released as a double A-side single with several remixes and the album cut "Ill Vibe" featuring fellow rapper Q-Tip, which also appears on The Coming, as its B-side.

After former group Leaders of the New School broke up, Rhymes had problems with recording a full album on his own.

Daryl McIntosh of Albumism noted that the song shows that Busta Rhymes "could entertain more than just the 'hard-knocks' at the party [and] now captur[es] the ladies' attention".
