[edit] Song Information
Originally the song was Brown's which had a completely different beat and lyrics, but it did not make the cut on for his debut album. Then Bow Wow carried the idea and planned to release it on the re-release of his album Wanted Reloaded, but then plans fell through and his record label said to keep it for his next project. Brown sings the chorus and the bridge after the first chorus. Johnta Austin and Derek Rhodes provide background vocals on the song, but is not credited publicly (though credited on Billboard.com). This song is similar to Chingy's "Pullin' Me Back" and Paula DeAnda's "Walk Away (Remember Me)".
