The song features vocals by Celetia Martin and contains a sample from "Got to Learn How to Dance" by Fatback Band[1] and samples a drum break from Skull Snaps' "It's a New Day".[citation needed] The lyrics are an interpolation from Brandy's 1995 hit "Best Friend".
The song was featured in a Dutch television commercial for Royal Club soft drinks in 2002,[citation needed] which resulted in a re-release of the single in the Netherlands and a higher charting in the Dutch singles charts than the year before.[citation needed]
The music video features a woman going through a typical day at work, interspersed with scenes from a holiday with her friends.
