Background

The song uses the riddim that Stepz Medley used in other reggae songs like "We Be Burnin'" by Sean Paul. The single was her first song to be released outside of Jamaica after being signed to Universal Mowtown Records[1] but only managed to be an online hit failing to enter the charts.[2]

Music video

The video was directed by Tim Naylor and shot at Shadow Studios in New York City in October, 2005[3]

The video starts with footage of Tami Chynn riding on the back of a scooter and then shows her dancing in a house with flashes to other dancers.[4]
