The chorus was performed by vocalists Karen Anderson and Laree Williams.
The song became an American Top 40 hit, becoming Big Daddy Kane's first and only single to crack the US Billboard Hot 100 chart, peaking at number 31.

Other cover versions and sampling[edit]

- In 2013, K. Michelle sampled the song in 'V.S.O.P.', which charted almost identically to Laws' original on both the pop (#89) and R&B charts (#13).
- In 2014, Crystal Kay covered the song in Japanese, featuring Sandaime J Soul Brothers' vocalist Ryuji Imaichi.[5]
