While it was not as big a hit as "Candy Rain", it reached number 11 on the Billboard R&B chart and number 17 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song samples "Outstanding" by the Gap Band. The single was certified Gold by the RIAA for selling over 500,000 copies in the United States on October 25, 1995. In 2018, Jase, the lead singer of Soul for Real, featured his brother Choc on a remake of the song on his solo recording project called "If You Feel Like Me: The Mixtape".[1] The song is written and recorded in the key of G minor.
