[edit] Song Information

The song talks about how Ne-Yo talks with other girls a lot, and this makes his current girlfriend extremely mad. Ne-Yo finds that when his girlfriend is mad that she looks extremely sexy, and does whatever he can to make her mad. When they both get mad, however, they end up sleeping together, and then they forget what they were mad about in the first place.

[edit] Music Video

The music video is very faithful to the song, and has been very positively received. Ne-Yo is always with other girls whether just talking to them, doing a magazine spread, or whatever, and that makes his girlfriend mad, so he always apologizes and they end up sleeping together.
