The single became Vivian Green's second top 40 hit on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart and her second #1 hit on the Hot Dance Club Songs chart ("Emotional Rollercoaster" was her first single to do both in early 2003).
- The second single from the album was "I Like It (But I Don't Need It)". The single became Green's third #1 hit on the Hot Dance Club Songs chart.
