It was written by Shawntae Harris, William Hart, Thom Bell and producer Timothy "Timbaland" Mosley for her debut album Supa Dupa Fly (1997) and released as the album's second single in a slightly re-recorded form.
The song is based on a sample from the 1968 single "Ready or Not Here I Come (Can't Hide from Love)" by the Delfonics.
Directed by Hype Williams[citation needed], the music video takes place on a remote planet where robot monsters are chasing Missy Elliott & Lil' Kim, who are wearing red and white space suits.
Towards the end of the video, Da Brat rescues the pair, before rapping her verse in a black and yellow space suit.
One notable moment in the video is when Elliott and other dancers perform Michael Jackson's "Smooth Criminal" dance aboard a space ship.
