A maxi single containing several remixes of the song was released in 1993 and charted at number 76 on the R&B charts.[3] It was Brown's last charting single in the United States.
It was poorly received by critics; AllMusic described it as "strain[ing] for rap credibility",[2] while Entertainment Weekly dismissed it as "junky".[4]
Brown's final music video to date featured a live dancer and college students.
