It is sometimes referred to as the second part to the song "Get It Wet" off of his Adrenaline Rush album. It was released as a Digital Download on February 24, 2009. The radio version is remixed. The song contains elements from Janet Jackson's 1994 hit Any Time, Any Place. It is a straightforward slow jam, with Shevon's vocal chorus punctuating Twista's two verses.
