Background


While recording the album, the group didn’t feel like it had any singles so they contacted Jermaine Dupri who was executive producing the project, to go back into the recording studio. The duo's attorney, Vince Phillips, who also a business partner and friend of the producer Lil Jon called him in to producer the new track for the duo. "Instantly, man, we knew it was the one. You could tell by the energy in the room" says J-Bo. [1]

Lil Jon's BME Recording artist, Bohagon was in attendance and wrote the hook for the song.[2]
