[edit] Background

The song is by 50 Cent and it features Olivia. The song is produced by Hi-Tek. the song also samples the song Silly Wasn't I by Valerie Simpson from her self-titled 1972 album for its beat.

The original version of the song is used throughout the film as a way for Marcus (the character played by 50 Cent during Marcus' older years) to lyrically tease/flirt Charlene with, when he passes her the tape with the track on it.[citation needed]
