Song information


The song interpolates "All My Love", a song by R&B group 112 from their album Room 112. The remix features additional lyrics performed by Spragga Benz.

Various remixes of the song exist. Some radio stations played the pop mix with added drums or a 'Bubbling/Part II' remix by DJ Lipe (Santiago, Chile), featuring additional female vocals. There have also been several reggaeton remixes of the song including one featuring Ivy Queen. A 'Mad Hatters Ball' remix featuring Alison Hinds was also released. In 2008, the song was re-recorded with Hinds for Lyttle's second album, Fyah.

The song performed well on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at number four on 14 August and staying in the chart for months. It was also successful worldwide, reaching number two in the United Kingdom for two weeks (being the best selling non-new entry song twice), number one in Denmark, and number three in Australia, and remains Lyttle's biggest hit to date.

The song was included on Billboard's "12 Best Dancehall & Reggaeton Choruses of the 21st Century" at number one.[1]
