Song information

The song was written by Beenie Man and produced by award-winning duo The Neptunes. It was released as a single on June 25, 2002 peaking in the top 20s and 30s in most countries. It spent 12 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 peaking at #28. It also peaked at #9 on the UK Singles Chart. [1] In 2004, Jackson expressed her regret for the duet, saying "If I had known that (he was associated with homophobia), I would not have worked with him. It's shocking to me. We're on the same label, so I should have known. But at the same time, I wish someone from the company would have told me, knowing how... I feel about the gay community."[2] The song appeared in the Japan-only radio promo sampler We Love Janet in 2006.

The song was used as a DJ interlude on Jacksons 2015-2016 Unbreakable World Tour and her 2017 State of the World Tour.

The video was filmed on Westward Beach in Malibu, California.
